Abstract
The rapid technological advances in computing and computer graphics of the past three decades have in turn fueled the proliferation of the use of these technologies for Cultural Heritage. Formal educational courses for the application of computer graphics to Cultural Heritage are few and far between, and the courses that do exist tend to be targeted at archaeology students, with hardly any courses catering to computing or computer graphics students. To address this gap in education provision, we introduce a final year undergraduate course on ''CG and Animation for Cultural Heritage'', which provides students on technical and art & design computer graphics and animation courses with a broad introduction to the creation of Cultural Heritage applications of CG and animation techniques more commonly found in digital entertainment and visual effects. In this paper we describe this course and its curriculum and discuss its outcomes.
