Fall 2024 · DIG 0153 · Tufts University · 4 credits · Undergraduate

Use Blender, open-source 3D animation software, and various animation and sculpting tools, to explore the theme of monstrosity with special emphasis on the “American Bestiary”. Throughout history encounters with fictional beings have been described in terms of our fears and prejudices. Explore the abandoned narratives of these so-called monsters and recreate them using 3D Animation Software. In-class exercises use motion capture to create short films that reclaim the notion of monstrosity as a tool for understanding ourselves. No previous experience required.
