This unit will examine the key critical, historical and cultural contexts, including Indigenous perspectives that underpin contemporary animation. Starting at the early 20th century and finishing with the present day, this unit nurtures critical thinking through an investigation of the unique conditions that gave rise to important pioneering and innovative currents that distinguish contemporary animation as a genre. Students will have the opportunity to: explore important theories of colour, motion, and form; trace the journey of animation from historical to contemporary contexts; understand creative and technical methods and their applied contexts; develop a critical awareness of the techniques and methods underpinning modern animation; and, gain foundational knowledge that will inform student’s individual animation practice.","title-full":"KNB100 Introduction to Animation Studies","title-short":"Introduction to Animation Studies","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=KNB100&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=KNB100","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=KNB100"},"year":2025,"years":[2025]}
