(1-Week Trip to Santiago, Chile, followed by a 13-week studio course at ArtCenter) Seeking 2 to 3 upper-term Entertainment Design students to join the Safe Niños team! Every year, 6 million children across South and Latin America are burned from exposure to open flames, hot objects or fireworks. COANIQUEM, a nonprofit medical treatment center that provides free holistic treatment for burn survivors across South and Latin America, is challenging ArtCenter students to create new multi-media strategies for burn prevention messaging for children. In a Spring studio, students worked to build concepts for new worlds of burn prevention messaging, creating characters, environments, rules and stories across media applications. This Fall, the Safe Niños team will continue to develop the concepts to a more complete world, informed directly by the mission of COANIQUEM and aesthetics and culture of Chile. Students will travel to Santiago, Chile from September 4 to 9 to visit COANIQUEM's campus, meet with Chilean production companies, and explore Santiago. After returning to campus, the Development Seminar class will meet once a week from Weeks 1 to 13 to develop concepts for an animated series and related media and materials, with the goal of getting as close to a complete first episode as possible!
