Procreate Dreams Animation Club: All Levels Friendly (Ages 10+)

In this fun, interactive, animation club, your teacher-mentor will provide a new prompt and instruction each week, exploring new Dreams tools and the 12 principles of animation each week. You can move at your own pace and continue to work on larger projects week-by-week, getting individualized feedback along the way. Utilizing Dream’s multi-layered workspace, you will learn tools like key framing, tweening, performance mode, layering, grouping and more as you advance your storytelling, timing, problem solving and framing. Different subjects and references based on student requests will provide hands-on practice each week!

✨ The teacher will check in with each learner one-by-one each class so they can offer individual guidance! Students looking for a simpler animation class to start can try our Procreate Animation class, which uses frame-by-frame animation in the original Procreate app.

✨  There is 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.

✨ Many students stay for years, making our time together their creative practice, 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 our live Procreate classes or one of our self-paced classes to get started!

✨✨ The official age range of 11-15 is not firm—learners older than this age range are welcome to join our class. There is such a wide range of experience and skill we've never had problems with a wider age range, and learner’s interests in illustration and animation really anchor great chatting, experimenting, mentoring and sharing among all ages.
