As a part of the Asian American Student Association’s month of events to teach students about art within the Asian American culture, AASA is hosting “Animation in Asia.”
The event, which is from 5-7 p.m. on Nov. 24, aims to teach students about anime and cartoons, and the difference between the two.
Sang Nguyen, the president of AASA, said they’re bringing in two artists – one to teach students about anime style and the other about cartoon style.
Nguyen said while American cartoons are something geared more towards children, anime is more popular among adults and is watched by all ages.
“It originated back in World War II, a little bit when new artists started to come out and it reformed over time,” Nguyen said.
She said this event was a fun way to engage students and for them to learn something about Asian American culture.
The AASA is a part of the university's “Big 4,” which includes the Latino Student Union, Spectrum and the Black Student Association.
“These events are definitely geared toward diversity,” Nguyen said. “Us four work under a set of advisors under the Office of Student Life and we provide cultural programing and diversity programs on campus. Our main purpose is to have students appreciating that we all come from different backgrounds and exploring roots a bit and sharing different cultures.”
