characters, scene composition and animation.
To enable students to produce images, sequences or environments for conventional media, new digital media
or cinema / video / animation.

Teaching Methods

The program is structured in a series of practical exercises, punctuated by theoretical expositions and study trips. The evaluation will be continuous, taking into account the student's attendance, dedication and effort, imaginative and creative capacity, the work carried out in response to the proposed exercises, and the student's evolution and mastery of techniques and knowledge taught by the teacher. During the semester there will be continuous assessment tests and a final exam. In the final evaluation, students will be evaluated by a jury composed of the discipline teacher and other teachers of the course.
