LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF A MASTER DEGREE IN ANIMATION AND ILLUSTRATION

This paper aims to describe the processes of teaching illustration and animation, together, in the context of a masters degree program. In Portugal, until very recently, illustration and animation higher education courses, were very scarce and only provided by a few private universities, which offered separated programs - either illustration or animation. The MA in Illustration and Animation (MIA) based in the Instituto Politécnico do Cávado e Ave in Portugal, dared to join these two creative areas in a common learning model and is already starting it’s third edition with encouraging results and will be supported by the first international conference on illustration and animation (CONFIA). This masters program integrates several approaches and techniques (in illustration and animation) and integrates and encourages creative writing and critique writing. This paper describes the iterative process of construction, and implementation of the program as well as the results obtained on the initial years of existence in terms of pedagogic and learning conclusions. In summary, we aim to compare pedagogic models of animation or illustration teaching in higher education opposed to a more contemporary and multidisciplinary model approach that integrates the two - on an earlier stage - and allows them to be developed separately – on the second part of the program. This is based on the differences and specificities of animation (from classic techniques to 3D) and illustration (drawing the illustration) and the intersection area of these two subjects within the program structure focused on the students learning and competencies acquired to use in professional or authorial projects.

Anabela e o monstro

Durava 4 a 5 anos. Hoje, como se sabe, pode-se fazer um “mestrado em direito integrado na licenciatura e com o tamanho de 35 páginas, em alguns meses”. O que provoca desdém dos nossos colegas alemães, italianos, franceses e por aí afora… é o chamado “Tratado de Bolonha” no seu melhor. O tal que já nem sequer se aplica em Itália. § Abstract: Lasted for 4 to 5 years. Today, of course, you can make a "master's degree in integrated right in the degree and the size of 35 pages, in a few months." What causes disdain of our German colleagues, Italian, French and so on ... is the "Treaty of Bologna" at its best. The such that no longer even applies in Italy.
