In the course of my master's studies at the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences, I consciously decided to add an additional semester in order to make the most of the opportunity of a semester abroad. I chose the partner university "Universitat Politècnica de València", where I wanted to expand my knowledge and benefit from the experience and teaching methodology of the professors there.
The course "Fundamentals of Animation" at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) in the winter semester 23/24 is an exciting journey for me.
Although I already work as an animator in my profession and have taught myself my skills until now, I have never had the opportunity to be taught from scratch before.

While the course is ongoing so far, I am looking forward to the upcoming exercises and lessons. The experience so far has already given me valuable insight into the basic principles of animation.
The "flipped classroom" method allows me to actively participate in the learning process and immediately apply what I have learned in practice.
I am excited to see how my animation skills will develop and look forward to furthering my career as an animator while continuing the course at UPV.
