SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives:	In addition to the basic principles of motion graphics, which the students who take this course have seen in the Cartoon Workshop I lesson; physical animations such as gravity, wind, chain, rope, forward kinematics and inverse kinematics and character animations of their own designs.
Course Content:	In this course, gravity, wind, chain, string, forward and reverse kinematics animations will be applied with Duik, Newton3 and Particle Illusion software, which are plug-ins running on the two-dimensional animation software Adobe After Effects software. In addition, Adobe Character Animator software will enable students who take this course to create original projects.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:

Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)

1) Gains the requirements of physical animation design. Explain the terminology of the basic principles of physical animation and particle animation.

Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)

1) Makes methodological study and application throughout the idea, design and production processes. It synthesizes its original approach with current approaches and technologies in the field of physical animation and adopts independent decision-making in its designs.

Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)

1) Experience all the processes of the animation industry. Gains the competence to analyze and manage the problems and conflicts encountered in project production.
