Hyesung Park
Art Director
Hello,
I'm a Art Director Hyesung Park.
For the past 14 years,
I've worked as a commercial and TV animation director
and art director on a wide range of media
and animation genres.
I continued my career in Film Animation
at Blue Sky Studio, which is known for their "Ice Age" series
and now, I'm working as an Art Director
at Pixar Animation Studios.
A visual development artist
sets up the overall atmosphere of a game or film,
so you have to be able to look at and judge work
from various positions and perspectives.
During this class, I will show you
how to create artwork that clearly shows
individuality and creativity.
I'll share practical insights
that will improve your ability to create completed work
based on the knowledge I've acquired
as a designer and director.
I'll also share insights I learned from my experience
at renowned film animation studios in the United States.
Art Director,
Hyesung Park
