BA (Hons) Illustration and Animation

... United Kingdom
... University of East London

Course Overview

Studying the BA (Hons) Illustration and Animation course you will be able to explore and find your way within the two disciplines developing a practice that blurs the line between animation and illustration, but without the filmmaking skills that the BA (Hons) Animation requires.

You will be working on analog projects (e.g. printmaking and publishing alongside 2D drawn animation, stop-motion as well as new hybrid technologies like 3D printing) along with digital skills (e.g. digital 2D and 3D animation techniques, After Effects, Maya and become comfortable using Graphics Tablets to draw digitally).

Interdisciplinary collaboration with students from e.g. Fine Art Technology, Design Interaction, and Photography allows you to exchange skills and access technical support and subject expertise across disciplines giving you an edge in the competitive job market, with skills for the fourth industrial age (4iR).

You will be supported by the yearly employability initiative Detour Ahead: Roadmaps for the Art and Design Industry, a week-long inter-disciplinary event offering you industry insights as well as guidance on subjects such as freelancing, copyright, and tax.

You will graduate with skills in both animation and illustration with an adaptable approach to taking on work and being successful in the creative industries 4.0, where discipline distinctions become increasingly irrelevant.
