Department of Animation
With the educational goal of cultivating animation producers, directors, writers, or illustrators who can create as well as direct, our department is closely related to the Department of Multimedia. Students will not only draw images, but also write stories and dialogues by themselves, and use software as a means of enhancing a project. Students are required to submit a completed animation short at the end of each semester, and through this procedure, students will become familiar with the creative work from paper to screen.
