Animation in the Interdisciplinary Curriculum: Approaches to Integrating Animation and Marine Biology
Date: 11 May 2021
Time: 17.00-18.30
In this presentation for the Animation Research Group, Ruth Hayes discusses how Animation, as a highly interdisciplinary art form, can play a central role in interdisciplinary education.
This talk will discuss the skills, practices and modes of thinking that animation and marine biology share, and describe themes and strategies used to integrate these two disciplines. The interdisciplinary pedagogy and curricular structures of The Evergreen State College, a public, liberal arts college in Washington State, provide context for this talk. Examples from the syllabi and resulting student work show how teaching animation in conjunction with the biological sciences can lead students to integrative, synthetic thinking and creative growth.
