BATON ROUGE -- After hosting the Red Stick International Animation Festival in April, LSU Center for Computation and Technology staff will expand their involvement with animation enthusiasts to the high school level.
More than 15 high school juniors and seniors will participate in CCT's first Digital Arts and Technology Camp, a five-day seminar on the latest innovations in animation and digital media. LSU's School of Art will co-host the camp.
Students will learn basic digital concepts, artistic requirements and creative processes, traits that will strengthen their understanding of the digital technology field. Teachers will host seminars on drawing concepts, scriptwriting, storyboarding, story telling and animation. Activities throughout the week will create a strong foundation for students pursuing careers in animation, video games, visual effects, filmmaking and digital arts.
The camp will take place June 25-29 on the LSU campus. Students also will experience college life by touring the campus, staying in residence halls and eating in the cafeteria. The Shaw Center for the Arts, which holds CCT's Laboratory for Creative Arts and Technologies offices, will provide an off-campus site for the students to explore.
