Building Worlds in Virtual Reality	ANIM 210	Tell stories through virtual spaces. Source art and animation assets that are usable in VR projects. Design sound to enhance immersiveness in VR worlds. Build virtual spaces using the game engine. Planning the production of a VR experience.
Demo-Reel	ANIM 148	Create demo-reel of appropriate art work, cover letter and resume that will assist in entering animation field or baccalaureate institution. Discuss, analyze and evaluate work with appropriate terminology for content, technique and style. Identify and solve demo reel problems by applying animation concepts and techniques. Evaluate how animation and images work together in a demo reel as a strategic tool for entering animation fields. Apply principles of composition and animation in objective and subjective analysis of work appropriate for demo reel. Identify area of focus within animation fields based on interest, skill and strength. Outcome/Objective Students will create a demo-reel of appropriate artwork based on the research produced in the class. Outcome/Objective Students will be able to identify an area of focus within the 3D animation field.

Principles of Animation	ANIM 108	Create drawings that convey action in terms of movement, emotion, attitude, and expression. Render basic animation movements for characters or objects while applying the mechanics and timing of squash and stretch, key poses, secondary actions, follow through, staging, overlapping action and weight. Outcome/Objective Students will be able to render fluid "arc" movements for a falling leaf. Outcome/Objective Students will be able to render fluid "squash and stretch" movements for a bouncing ball. Anim 108 students will be able to successfully execute the "Principles of Animation." Draw to present story points or ideas completely and clearly through staging. Apply action analysis and observations to animated drawings.
