Collaborative Animation Project

Students in the University of Kentucky’s School of Art and Visual Studies will participate in a collaborative, real-time animation creative project on Feb. 27 with students from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium; the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, Poland; and the University of Kwazulu Natal in Durban, South Africa.

The software used in the event works in real time. Artists stationed at computers on which the software has been installed can contribute simultaneously to a work in progress, like creating animated shapes, changing backgrounds and adding other visually artistic elements to the living piece. 

Any students can come in at anytime during the event to draw at one of the computer stations. There will also be a live stream of the event at all the other locations and a link to a site where participants can message with each other.
