This class addresses head-on connections between thinking, emotion, and physical attraction. Walt Disney gave Mickey Mouse a brain and, after that, animated characters had options. Mickey could act shyly or boldly, experience joy and sadness, and his body would respond accordingly. It all started with the brain - with thinking. Emotions are automatic value responses. Each character has its own set of values, emotions, and its own way of moving in the world. 3 CREDIT S PREREQUISITES: 26-2025 DRAWING FOR ANIMATION I
