Students will learn about the development of animation from its inceptions as an artform through to the present and be able to discuss the history of animation as a whole and at the Disney studios. Students will be able to discuss key technologies behind animation, how animation started, what significant advancements Disney made in animation, and the history of the Disney studios. 

I have my MA in Art History from the University of Colorado at Boulder where I focused on animation and its interactions with art history for my master's thesis. I have taught a version of this course twice at the collegiate level for undergraduate students. This is a very unique course, in that it is not something traditionally covered by either art or film. Therefore, I offer a very different perspective on the development of art in the twentieth century through animation.
