Description

Students will learn the basics of animation. Over the course of 5 classes they will go from having no former knowledge to having a grasp over the major concepts of the art form and knowing how to create their very own short animated films. This class gives students the skills to turn whatever fantastical things they can imagine into reality.


Students will be taught the basics of animation, including the 12 Principles, lip syncing, walk cycles, how to use all of the necessary hardware and software for animated filmmaking, and how to put it all together to make their very own films.


Students will also need to download the required software beforehand (although we will be going over this on the first day if anyone has had any problems with this process).

Who this course is for:

  • Young aspiring creatives who are interested in learning about animation
  • Anyone who wants to learn how to animate from scratch
