Overview

All areas focus on students developing an individual voice and personal style to their work, as well as developing an understanding of how their work affects the world around them.

The Animation - Intermedia program at California State University, Fresno prepares students for both art and industry careers.

Key Features

The 2D animation emphasis covers a wide variety of techniques in animation. Students will learn both traditional and digital processes for creating animations. Some of the processes we cover include cutouts, compositing, and frame-by-frame.

The 3D animation emphasis begins with a strong foundation in modeling, lighting, rendering and animating. From there, students will focus on a particular skillset, such as environments or character animation.

The Intermedia emphasis encourages students to engage with a variety of media to develop artwork that communicates complex ideas within a theoretical framework. Examples of media include digital photography, video, installations and animation.
