Class Experience

This is a class for children who have a interest in animation and want to improve their skills as an artist. The class covers many of the fundamental principles of animation rather than on how to use one specific program. These concepts are the basic building blocks to learning how to create awesome animations and can be transferred to any type of animation, traditional or digital. Each week the class will focus on a different concept.

Some of the principals covered in this course are:

Week 1 - Squash and Stretch
Week 2 - Anticipation
Week 3 - Straight ahead action and pose to pose
Week 4 - Staging and Timing
Week 5 - Follow through action and Exaggeration
Week 6 - Solid drawing and appeal

In class we will be watching examples that explore the theme for that week. Children will then be guided through exercises and given time to explore the technique on their own. Animation takes time and patience to learn. Children are not expected to completely finish their assignments in class but will be given time to share their work at the beginning of each session. Please expect to set aside at least one hour outside of class for your learner to complete their work. Class participation is actively encouraged and children are allowed to raise their hand, ask questions, and receive feedback whenever they need.


Animation is fun, creative, and rewarding projects. Your child will be able to open up their art through the power of animation!

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, Krita, and FireAlpacia for class.
Supply List
Computer
Krita (Free software)
FireAlpaca (Free software)

Drawing pad optional but great to use over mouse
I recommend downloading a week before class and letting your child use it so they are familiar with the interface before class.
