This interactive course will guide students through the fundamentals of digital animation using Adobe Animate. We will cover basic drawing techniques, animation principles, storytelling, and sound design. The class will be a mix of demonstrations, hands-on activities, and group discussions. I encourage student creativity and provide personalized feedback to help each learner develop their skills. We'll use screen sharing, interactive exercises, short animated clips, and group discussions to make learning fun and engaging. Students will have opportunities to share their work, receive feedback, and collaborate with classmates.
