[ANIMATION] The aim of the CCA is to provide an opportunity for students to have a creative outlet in which they can discuss and enjoy while spreading awareness of local communities through animation. We hope to let more people acknowledge that animation could be more than just a leisure activity; it could also be something significant which can impact our community. We will make 1~2 minute animations every school year (if possible two), and it will be released at the end of the school year . We want to draw the legends and tales of indigenous tribes in Taiwan. At the start of the year, we visited a tribe, so we want to promote their culture and connect their culture with our community.
[MAGAZINE] our objective is to allow students to practice their organization skills, formatting skills, and provide a platform for their artworks to be seen. Maybe we can expand and collaborate with the Animation Club to spread awareness about international/global issues.
