Character Development and Design for Entertainment

Overview

This course advances students' skills in character design through the study of storytelling, research, and development. Students apply design methodologies learned in Character Design and Visual Structure to characters, costumes, props, and world-building. In-class lectures and in-depth analyses of film and theatre expand student understanding of how characters express meaning in story. The development, design, and refinement of a character over the term is the goal of this course.
