The course is aimed to guide anyone who is interested in learning more about the Pixar storytelling process &#8211; the segments will give tips on how to create original stories, captivating\u00a0characters, and diverse worlds. The courses\u00a0will also offer a variety of techniques other than your\u00a0typical video and reading assignments; there will be\u00a0firsthand exercises that will even teach some newcomers the ABC&#8217;s of taking an\u00a0original\u00a0idea and seeing it through to the story boarding phase. Pixar&#8217;s online class will disperse their different lessons throughout the year, so stay-tuned for more production wisdom from the studio!<br \/>\nPete Docter&#8217;s own statement on the course should give you enough motivation to give it a try: \u201cWe hope that by sharing how we tell stories, we\u2019ll inspire students all over the world to tell their own stories.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;The Art of Storytelling&#8221; can be accessed through the online-education website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.khanacademy.org\/partner-content\/pixar\">Khan Academy<\/a>.<br \/>\nHave you already taken the course or are thinking about\u00a0trying it out?
