角色动画作品集要求（本科生）
The character animation program supports animation focused on character development and narrative storytelling. The faculty admissions committee seeks portfolios that show evidence of strong, creative life drawing skills, artistic originality and the potential to tell stories and develop characters using sequential imagery. The committee values artwork that reveals a unique and imaginative voice, showcasing the applicant’s artistic interests and conceptual abilities. We welcome a range of creative work, including drawings and other traditional artwork, 2D digital art, and computer graphics (CG). Please carefully review the specific Portfolio Requirements listed below.
The Character Animation program is a four-year program. All Students begin at the BFA1 (first-year undergraduate) level because of the highly sequential nature of the curriculum. Transfer students please review our transfer credit policy . Transfer of courses may lighten a student's academic course load, however, they will not shorten the length of residency.
角色动画主要专注角色人物发展以及叙事性故事。学院招生委员会期待创造性强，有创意性绘画技巧及有艺术创意的作品集，并且期待作品集中能够呈现故事且能够用一系列图画来丰富发展角色。招生委员会欣赏看重独特有想象力的作品来展示申请人艺术兴趣和概念能力。
欢迎一切创意性形式的作品，包括绘画，其他传统形式作品以及2D和CG技术作品。
请仔细阅读以下作品集具体要求
角色动画专业学制4年。按照课程高度有序性，所有学生（本科一年级）从大一开始上课。转学生请仔细阅读转学生政策。转学生学业负担会稍微轻些，但不会缩短在校时间。
