Ideally, at the end of each month or every couple of weeks, students will present a unique animation that mixes and combines some of the principles of animation. Students are encouraged to exercise and experiment in their personal projects and artistic growth.Class Experience
Advanced Level
Are you interested in leveling up your digital animations, cartoons, or short clips but you're unsure where or how to start? Made for advanced learners, and taught in a slow yet measured pace, level up your 2D animation skills using Procreate Dreams. 📱Procreate Dreams is a new and revolutionary app that allows artists of all skills levels to tell their own stories. It can be found exclusively on the Apple App Store for a one-time fee of 19.99 (USD), and it is necessary to use in this course. 🎨 Together we will create an animation each week building on the different tools and software found in Procreate Dreams. The animations will be easy to draw, made with simple shapes and forms, while providing challenges along the way. Students are also encouraged to create their own animations, too. Below is an EXAMPLE breakdown of what to roughly expect week to week: 🏛 Week #1 | Week of January 1 - January 7 🎬 Principle of Animation | Squash and Stretch ✓ Learn how to animate a character changing emotions. 🏛 Week #2 | Week of January 8 - January 15 🎬 Principle of Animation | Arc ✓ Learn how to animate a character showing off on a diving board. 🏛 Week #3 | Week of January 16 - January 22 🎬 Principle of Animation | Exaggeration ✓ Learn how to animate an object consumed by fire. 🏛 Week #4 | Week of January 23 - January 29 🎬 Principle of Animation | Appeal ✓ Learn how to animate with a variety of shapes, proportions, and simplicity. 🚨 Important 🚨 To reduce eye strain and encourage movement, students are encouraged to take a break in the middle of class. Animation can be taxing on the body especially our eyes, and spine / posture, so it’s important students get a break between their creative work to stand up and stretch. Each lesson is loosely structured around the 12 principles of animation that can be found at the root of all motion-based media. Animation students learn firsthand about these principles and how to use them in their work, and each week your child will learn how to apply them in practice to the animations they create in and outside of class.
Learning Goals
Students will develop their understanding of how to use Procreate Dreams at the advanced level, mastering the user interface, commands and gestures, and how to animate complex exercises while applying the 12 principles of animation. Students will learn other vocabulary like key frames, animating on 1s and 2s, as well as other vocabulary.
