Art Foundation Module Starts in September

Photobash by Andy Ramlika

One of the first mini-modules our students will tackle in their first year at Escape Studios is the "Art Foundation" module, taught by Escape Studios' tutor Lorenzo Maniccia

In Art Foundation our students will learn the basics of human anatomy and the fundamentals of environment design.  

Students are asked to produce anatomical sketches, assemble a moodboard and do thumbnail sketches - all in preparation for a final "photobash" concept artwork.

Like all our animation tutors, Marc Stevenson has moved his teaching of animation basics to purely online delivery.  To communicate with his students, Marc is using a combination of Google Meet, SyncSketch and Facebook, and has in addition created a new animation tutorial channel at YouTube. 

In this guest post, Marc explains what's involved in teaching the fundamentals of animation from an online platform, and how his first-year animation students can make the best use of the resources available.
