In completing this certificate students will imagine worlds and then populate them with humans, animals and creatures. Students will learn the elements of design, project and character analysis along with research techniques. They will generate project-specific organizational paperwork and develop figure-drawing and painting skills using traditional techniques as well as digital drawing methods. These designs will translate into costumes, makeup and character design for traditional theater and live performance as well as film, television and digital media. Upon completion students will be able to present unique portfolios of their work.
