Animation courses teach students the art of bringing characters and stories to life through movement, covering key principles like timing, motion, and visual storytelling. These courses explore 2D and 3D animation, stop motion, and visual effects using industry-standard software like Maya, Blender, and After Effects. Students gain hands-on experience in character design, rigging, and scene composition to create engaging animations for films, games, and digital media. Many programs also focus on portfolio development, industry trends, and career opportunities in animation studios, gaming, and multimedia production.
