Dynamic by definition, animation is artwork in motion. Grounded in the rigorous academics of traditional fine arts, animation is a discipline that demands sharp critical thinking, continual attention to developments in technology, and boundless creativity. A Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in animation from UMass Amherst is an excellent springboard for up-and-coming animators and motion graphics artists, who go on to highly successful careers in the video and film industry or as independent artists. After completing first-year Foundations courses, students choosing to pursue an education in animation begin with the stop-motion fundamentals. To fashion characters and sets, students make use of foundational skills in drawing and sculpture, and learn to move fluidly between traditional and digital processes. Equally important is the semester spent exploring media motion graphics, where students envision and create 2D images in 3D space using digital techniques, such as green screen, compositing and editing.Third-year students engage in an intensive year of computer animation, building skills in all aspects of creative design and production while honing their individual styles and interests, and have the option to take courses within the Department of Computer Science. As preparation for students entering the work world, advanced animation courses cover written and oral presentation skills, grant writing, and research.
