This introductory experimental animation and media course will explore color, images, and the remains of our memories to reconstruct, reimagine, and expand ideas of the Westernized archetype of self-portraiture. Where do fiction and autobiography embrace? What does self-portraiture have to do with either? Students will animate their findings using collage, video, drawing, and repetition. We will first gather sounds, memories, found objects, and new experiences to workshop our personal self-portrait. An essay by Toni Morrison, "The Site of Memory", and a variety of experimental media practices will guide us. The final project will be a collaborative installation-performance, using source material created during the class. No prior experience of animation, performance, video, or sound editing is required.

The documentary image has constituted a keystone of the photographic medium since the earliest days of its existence.

What do the ethics and aesthetics of documenting reality involve in an era when the instant representation of ourselves and our environment has become routine daily procedure? How can today's visual documentarian meet the challenge of creating work that meaningfully and critically relates to the complex global issues and struggles defining the current historical moment?
