Description
Throughout the previous semester, we analyzed, studied and interpreted the elements and techniques necessary to create a 2D animation, and learned how the industry has perfected the technique to this day. In this semester, we will submit to a new challenge and we will expand the areas given in the previous semester, to enter more advanced animation techniques. We will work on a final project, with monthly monitoring.

Methodology

The subject will be developed through active and participatory teaching methodologies that help the student to assimilate the knowledge, competences and learning objectives of the subject. The cooperative work as well as the autonomous work will be promoted, strengthening the interrelation between student and teacher; as well as the interdisciplinarity that will give the opportunity to expand concepts between diverse matters.

Evaluation

Continuous assessment:
The first day of the course the student will be proposed to do a final project. Every month, it will be monitored and we will analyze if the given theory is being applied in the student's proposals.
It will be based on the reviews, the student's participation in the classes and the teacher's criteria.
The exercises delivered will be publicly corrected to share the successes and errors.
Subject follow-up: 50%
Final project: 40%
Competent: 10%
