Animation Therapy

During my 3rd year of my Degree my interest of how Animation could be used as a form of therapy became a solid goal to discover. I have started an Animation Ma Course at The University of West England in hopes to widen my knowledge of Animation as a whole and also to start research delving into animation and its uses within therapy.

I am starting this web page to show my results and the journey I take investigating this Fascinating subject and all it can do/achieve. 

 

Here are some of the tests I plan on doing to explore Animation as Therapy. . . .

 

Case Study’s. . . .

 

• Nursery’s

• Friends

• Family

• Institutions

• Hospitals

• Children’s ward

• Schools

 

Self study's - reflexology

 

• Ideas to test

  • Lights movement (look into current art films)

  • Everyday draw image – put them together

  • Music and animation

  • Performance art connections

  • Emotions – art – animation                                                                          – how different things make us feel differently? Images/music/films ect – maybe make different emotion films then get people to look at them?

  • Dance connections

  • Different materials – sand, paint, charcoal, 3D, 2D, Stop mo, Characters in different environment, Finger art.

  • Draw inside body – show how feel inside body.
