This class is perfect for anyone who wants to dive into the world of animation memes—whether you’re just starting or want to take your skills further. You’ll learn how to animate popular memes and put your own twist on them, while improving your animation techniques week by week.

HOW IT WORKS:
📅 Join any week! Our lessons are designed for drop-ins, so you can start any time and never feel left behind.
⏳ Stay as long as you like! Many students return for weeks or months, continuously learning new techniques and refining their skills.
🏆 Each class is a standalone lesson — you'll always leave with a finished animation you can proudly share.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
Each week we’ll dive into a new meme, covering the animation process from start to finish. You’ll learn how to animate the meme, tips for adding your own style, and how to combine everything into your very own unique meme animation.

Here are some of the memes we’ll be animating:

💃 Cha Cha Real Smooth

🏚️ She’s Homeless
🌸 Bloom
💥 Aftermath
😱 Tell Me
⚠️ Danger
💔 Two Time
👽 ET is an Alien
🤔 What is Logical
🎶 Kandi Raver
And more! 🎉

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
🎬 MAGGIE WEHLER, PROFESSIONAL ANIMATOR AND ILLUSTRATOR
Maggie Wehler is a freelance animator and illustrator who has worked on a multitude of indie video games and indie animation projects! As she loved video games and cartoons as a child, she began drawing digitally in middle school and hasn’t stopped since!

After college, Maggie attended the Disney College Program and worked at the Walt Disney World Parks in Florida while attending seminar classes with Disney artists and designers! She also makes freelance animated videos for the YouTube channel Psych2Go, which has over 11 million subscribers! Maggie firmly believes that everyone deserves to have a space to create, all art forms are valid, and any art fundamentals can be learned through drawing characters you love to draw!
