Detailed Description
This course is designed to introduce students to the dynamic nature
of drawing. It incorporates the principles of observational drawing
covered in Semester 1, and their application to drawn human and
animalform. Specific material on the musculature of the human body is
introduced and incorporated into a variety of assignments. Emphasis
is placed on creating drawings that are lyrical, proportioned and
volumetric. Through a series of interactive lectures, discussions,
demonstrations, field study and studio assignments, students increase
their understanding of the relationship between drawing skills and
effective drawing, and creating animated characters within a
storytelling context.

| Bachelor of Animation |
Program Coordinator: Mark Mayerson |
This course is part of the
core component of the first
year of the Bachelor of
Applied Arts (Animation)
Program. It is the second in
a
series of eight Life Drawing
courses whose development
reflects comprehensive and
thoughtful scope, content
analysis, and sequence in the
delivery within the Life
Drawing stream. In addition,
it reflects continuity,
integration and balance
through the other streams at
an introductory level and
reflects the complexity and
logic of the design of the
BAA
(Animation) Program. It
prepares students for the
remaining courses within the
stream and for building
connections to storytelling,
character, animation and
performance within courses in
other streams of the program.

Late Policy:
Late Policy for all courses in the program: All assignments are due
within the first 15 minutes after the start of class on the due date.
Late projects, submitted after the first 15 minutes of the start of
class will receive a 20% grade reduction. Late projects submitted the
following week will receive a 30% grade reduction. There will be no
submission of work after the last day of semester unless arrangements
have been made and documented by the professor. Work that is more than
one week late will not be graded unless a prior arrangement has been
made with the professor; the arrangement must be documented on email
or a memo, with the new due date identified. There will be no
resubmission of work unless, under exceptional circumstances, this has
been agreed to or suggested by the professor. Again, a hard copy of
the agreement is necessary. If there is a valid reason for the late
project, the student must email the professor at least 3 days before
the due date. If the reason is deemed to be valid, there will be no
late penalty. A new due date with be set by the instructor. The basic
late policy as laid out above will be followed, except in the instance
that an instructor requires a variation in policy. That variation will
be provided to the student in writing as part of the actual
assignment, which will be handed out by the instructor.
