From fine art to cartoons, the CSSSA Animation program encourages students to explore their creative potential and bring movement to their artwork through an intense and rigorous curriculum. In this video, some 2010 animation students tell us about their experience at CSSSA and department chair Lori Damiano gives us some insight on the structure of the coursework.
