Class Experience

Students will learn the basics of 3D animation by making their own cool short animations using Blender, a free 3D software program. This class is for beginners who have basic computer skills and feel comfortable with a mouse and keyboard and find different menus in a program and are excited to animate something cool each week. Students will be provided with a new 3D scene each week and will learn about animation, lighting, setting up a camera, animation modifiers, setting keyframes for animation walk cycles, and so much more. 

The goal of each class is to make a short, simple animation that students can share with their friends and family. 

Students will receive individualized instruction as needed and are encouraged to use their creativity to make each animation their own.

Students will need a semi-new computer (something from the last 5 years), a 2 monitors or devices to view the zoom class as their main screen will be used for Blender (the 3d animation program), a mouse, and a keyboard, and to download a free copy of Blender.

Students MUST download and install Blender before the first day of class. 

Week 1: Intro to Blender and making 3D shapes
Week 2: Make a living room scene
Week 3: Make a bedroom scene
Week 4: Make a kitchen scene
Week 5: Make an outside scene
Week 6: Make a photo shoot scene

Learning Goals

Students will learn to make simple animations and use their creativity to make each animation their own by adding their own twists to each idea.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Animations may depict fire, explosions, and laser blasters but will never include violence to people or animals, or any creatures. We will be using Youtube and Blender 3D for class.
Supply List
A semi-new computer (something from the last 5 years), a 2 monitors or devices to view the zoom class as their main screen will be used for Blender (the 3d animation program), a mouse, and a keyboard, and to download a free copy of Blender.

A drawing tablet or even maybe a touchscreen would be easier to use than a mouse.
External Resources
