This course serves as an introduction to the Animation pathway. Students will learn the basic components of 2D and 3D animation development. Software includes Adobe Suite, Toon Boom and Maya.

In Principles and Concepts of Animation, students will continue to develop and implement aesthetics of color selection, storyboarding in 2D digital animation, and develop animatic creations from 2D to 3D. Students in this course will learn interface tools, the use of drawing tools, animating the camera, importing images from web sources and files, working with sound and lip syncing, understanding paths and motion design, and frame by frame animation creation relative to sequence planning and pacing. This course will allow students to explore more advanced aspects of character animation including subtle character gesture and advanced action timing with emphasis on personal observation. The course will allow students to develop an understanding of basic sound considerations such as lip syncing, voice-overs, and the synchronization of sound and the visual product. This course will allow students to build on previously learned storyboarding skills, develop scripts, determine character motivations, consider setting and motion variables, and learn other unique traits of animation through integrated activities.

In this course students will continue working in 2D and 3D environments by importing 3D models while working in 3D space morphing, and inverse kinematics. While learning the basics of Game and App design, the students will acquire knowledge of human and animal animations, apply the aesthetic and technical aspects of animation of characters, and analyze the physics and physicalizing of action, weight, and timing. The course advances student's knowledge of sound integration into animated products by focusing on skills that include lip-syncing, voice overs, and synchronization. Portfolio development will include animation reels and other products.

The Cloud Computing course is intended for students who seek an overall understanding of cloud computing, independent of specific technical roles, cloud concepts, core services, security, architecture, and support. Students dive deeply into cloud computing best practices and learn how cloud computing helps users develop a global infrastructure to support use case at scale while also developing and inventing innovative technologies. Innovation through cloud computing is making a major impact in nearly every industry, including healthcare, finance, manufacturing, government, and nonprofit. The global public cloud computing market has consistently grown 15 percent year over year and is projected to continue to grow annually. This course utilizes hands-on practical lab activities to explore and build cloud technologies.
