A collaborative and interdisciplinary computer animation course

David Ebert and Dan Bailey have developed an innovative and supportive environment for art and computer science students to collaborate on large scale graphics projects. This is exciting because in many academic institutions, students from these two disciplines never have a chance to meet each other, much less work together. Ebert hails from the CSEE Department at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, and Bailey is a member of the Visual Arts Department at UMBC. In this article, they discuss their choice of topics, their pedagogy and an evaluation of what worked.
