summary	The "Pixels and Polygons: School of Digital Art" workshop aimed to address challenges faced by aspiring animators and digital artists such as communication barriers, collaboration difficulties, creative blocks, and uncertainty intolerance in the unpredictable nature of creative work. Inspired by improvisational theater's focus on storytelling and character development skills, the school developed an innovative approach combining technical training with soft skill enhancement. The process was divided into five phases: Preparation (warmup games, psychological safety exercises, rapid idea generation); Communication (creativity, storytelling games with escalating constraints, deep listening exercises); Collaborative Storytelling (multi-layered games with interconnected participant roles, real-time creative problem-solving); Scene Work (character-focused improvisation, three line scene exercises); and Applied Practice (backline games using animation-specific prompts). The outcomes included high engagement levels, sustained energy throughout the session, enthusiastic participation in all activities, positive student feedback expressing interest in repeating the workshop. This demonstrated successful creation of a positive learning experience, clear value demonstration to participants, and leaving students wanting more development in these skills. Broader impacts encompassed increased comfort with uncertainty, enhanced collaborative skills through embodied learning, strengthened communication abilities, improved creative confidence through structured risk-taking, and overall improvement in navigating complex, unpredictable creative environments like animation projects where technical constraints and creative visions constantly evolve.
