3 lessons//3 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1Sonic Run & Spin DashStudents will animate a Sonic run cycle, peel-out, and spin dash to study the first set of 4 principles - Squash and Stretch, Pose to Pose, Timing and Motion, and Exaggeration. By adding multiple frames for three actions and using timers to decrease or increase the speed of the animation, students will be drawing convincing fluid and expressive movements.Week 2Lesson 2Sonic Jump & Run to GoalStudents will have Sonic jumping over a background to study the second set of 4 principles - Anticipation, Arcs, Slow In and Out, and Follow Through. Students will create a simple 2-3 frame jump where the sprite will be moved in an arc. Objects will be placed around Sonic and moved to give the animation a sense of tracking. Sonic will then be drawn in a simple running cycle and moved past a goal post at varying speeds to see how the environment affects the look of the animation.Week 3Lesson 3Sonic & Tails Loop Over BackgroundStudents will animate Sonic and Tails over a moving background to study the third set of 4 principles - Staging, Secondary Action, Solid Drawing, and Appeal. Students will draw a simple background large enough to scroll and create a loop of Sonic and Tails to move around the background. Students will create depth in their animations by having backgrounds and background elements move with added foreground for a complete complex scene.
Through learning about the 12 major principles of animation and applying them with their favorite characters, students will garner an appreciation for the nuances of animation like smooth movement and creative perspectives in drawing to make scenes look more engaging, as they do simple exercises to create original work through problem solving and practice.

Hardware: Students will need two devices. One will be used to view the class on Outschool (can be a phone) and the other device will be needed to code. The second device must have a keyboard. Software: Scratch (in browser with account or free desktop download) Students are encouraged to create a Scratch browser account (https://scratch.mit.edu) beforehand or download the desktop version and get comfortable with locating and opening the program to get ready for the first class. It is recommended that students create a folder for saving projects onto their computers or thumbdrives for use as a "backup" instead of saving projects online only.
