Beginner - Intermediate Level
This 3-day live class is a fun, casual space where we will create a new animation together step-by-step in the app Procreate Dreams. Learners will create multi-layered animations and problem-solve through the design, framing and creation of their own moving art! ✨ We have time to share work and connect over shared interests at the beginning and end of each class! Students do not have to share and it’s never a big deal to pass. Chatting and sharing happen mostly at the beginning and end of class, with the majority of time in the middle spent on step-by-step focused work and also some chatting! ✨ Learners new to Dreams can following along with me step-by-step to make a new animation! More advanced learners may be working at their own pace, adding more nuance, style and detail as they progress in their art-making! I will check in with each learner one-by-one each class so I can offer individual guidance! ✨ Students will want to (and are encouraged to!) take this camp again and again, as we create something new in each 4-week class! Many students stay for years in my classes, gaining more confidence, speed and style as they work with our prompts each time! ✨For students who are not familiar with the app Procreate (the original illustration app from Procreate), and want to check it out, look for my live Procreate classes or one of my self-paced classes to get started! If you stay in this class, over time you will be learning the following (and much more): 👉🏼 Keyframe animation 👉🏼 frame-by-frame animation 👉🏼 color theory 👉🏼 Performance Mode 👉🏼 light & shadow 👉🏼 line/shape 👉🏼 composition 👉🏼 simplifying/stylizing 👉🏼 value 👉🏼 gesture 👉🏼 sketching loose 👉🏼 mood 👉🏼 brushes 👉🏼 saving files 👉🏼 trusting instincts 👉🏼 expanding interests 👉🏼 failure=growth 👉🏼 experimenting 🏳️🌈✊🏽 ✨This is an inclusive, anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ safe space where every member can feel empowered to be themselves and create art that reflects the world they dream about! • No previous experience is necessary. Bring your ideas and an open mind! • Classes may run up to ten minutes late depending on sharing, learner questions and discussion. • Mics ON is allowed and encouraged (assuming no background noise-in which case just mute while not talking)!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Temple University
I am a self-taught award-winning, exhibiting, working artist. I have a degree in journalism from Temple University and I worked for years in journalism, editing, graphic design and marketing before quitting it all to pursue my passion and become a working artist, writer and educator 8 years ago! I have had to create portfolios and submit many, many times!
Growth Mindset:
I teach targeted art skills in a safe social-emotional space where students can explore how to think and see like an artist, learn to fail and try again and build confidence in their own intuition and work.
As an artist and writer, I have taught elementary, middle school and high school art, illustration, animation and creative writing in classes including: drawing, painting, comics, stop motion, character design, and fundamental art principles like line, perspective, color, composition and more.Reviews
