Figures in Motion Camp

Ever wondered how the magic of animated videos was born? This drawing-centered camp will demystify the traditional processes of hand-drawn sequential animation, allowing students to bring an action to life from sketch to screen. Students will learn to draw items and live models in motion, applying principles of anatomy, structure, balance, and reactive force to understand the human figure. While studying the historical roots of animation, students will practice the intricate logistics of image sequencing and transform a series of drawings into a mesmerizing animated video.

The School of Art at Arizona State University offers art camps for students ages 13-18 throughout the summer. These four- and five-day camps—which are open to students with all levels of experience—reflect a wide variety of studio art practices and provide students with an art immersion experience. Each camp gives participants the opportunity to meet others with similar interests and to receive valuable one-on-one feedback from our specialized instructors. All materials are provided for in-person camps. We can’t wait to work with you!
