University of Colorado, Denver/Japan Study Abroad

University of Colorado, Denver/Japan Study Abroad University of Colorado, Denver-Study Abroad program for Digital Design and Illustration students. Students explore World Heritage sites by foot, bike and train.

Explore illustration, art and design through the culture of Japan. Students activate their senses
in media rich Tokyo and navigate to the ancient capital of Kyoto via the Shinkansen Bullet Train and to the islands of Naoshima and Teshima. Students draw connections between distinctive characteristics of Wabi-Sabi, a principle of Japanese art–by witnessing economy of form, simplicity, roughness and

asymmetry–found in the cultural layers of Japan. A diverse group of students establish a visual system for recording, develop a artifact informed by site-specific observations, mappings, collections, and workshop interpretations. Local designers, illustrators, and artisans provide traditional and contemporary design experiences~design studio tours, Manga workshop, temple garden walks, architecture & art museum excursions.

Calligraphy!

Two independent faculty filmmakers are looking for students to work on a feature-length romantic comedy. In this quirky independent film, two rival academics in Cryptozoology 101 are in search of Bigfoot and other mythical creatures. Several illustrators are needed to first storyboard, sketch, imagine and then render concepts into professional animations overlaying film with drawings and animation using after effects, and 3-D programs such as Cinema 4D or Maya. Subjects to illustrate include: Jackalope, (a real rabbit with animated enhancement), Chupacabra, Sea Battle with Loch Ness, etc. If you are interested, please contact as per film faculty Dan Koetting wishes, at 303-518-6321. At this stage, the budget is limited. This is a great chance, to gain additional experience and work on an imaginative film! Becky Heavner
