Class Experience

Holiday cards are so much fun to create send out, but what better way to share love than being able to send your own animated  card?

In this class, you will create a festive tree scene with flashing lights and animated text.

We will create our background and tree layers, using shading techniques, then we will add our lights and other animated elements layer by layer. 

Once these are all created, we will begin animating our card, using various Procreate tools to give our animated card some variation.

This class does require some experience with Procreate but if you haven’t done animation, that’s ok, we will learn how to use the animation tools.

Jump on board the festive train and let’s get creative!

I'm a qualified teacher, experienced in teaching English, History, Music, and Art. I home educated my two children, who are now at university, and I have taught in mainstream schools, and in Special-Ed schools.

I have also taught piano, guitar, singing, and music theory, taking students through grade examinations.

I am experienced in teaching the British GCSEs, and through home-schooling, I taught my own children using American curriculum. I teach Language Arts, English Literature and Language, Creative Writing, Poetry - both writing, and reading, and many other fantastic and interesting topics.

I teach writing skills using the Writing Revolution techniques, and have seen students improve their writing skills rapidly using some of the techniques applied.

In addition, I worked as a graphic designer for 10 years, working from home, and offer graphic design and video editing classes, using Adobe Creative Suite, DaVinci Resolve, and soon, Affinity creative suite.

Growth Mindset is very important in my classes, and I encourage it in all learners - Growth Mindset is the belief that even if you can't do something or don't understand something, then you CAN learn how to do it or understand it. Growth Mindset says "I can't do it YET, but I can learn." Learning happens through making mistakes, and then modifying your approach, changing what you do, to improve. I encourage all learners to try, and to feel comfortable making mistakes, because that's how we all learn.
