Class experience

US Grade 8 - 11
Intermediate Level
This class is taught in English.
This project-based class teaches animation using an iPad App called Procreate Dreams. 
This class is a project-based class. Learners will be required to follow teacher lead projects through to completion. students do have a certain level of creative liberty within these projects, but NOT full creative choice. The instructor reserves the right to set project parameters in order to maintain cohesive application of the lessons being implemented AND working toward an achievable, successful outcome. (fancy way of saying: I make sure the goals are realistic because animation can get hairy.)
Generally, we will learn:
• Some fundamentals of animation
• A bit of modern history of animation (a look at inspiring examples & professionals in the industry)
• Terms and techniques specific to the animation industry 
• How to use specific tools and features of Procreate Dreams to animate

An award-winning designer and multimedia producer, I bring my professional background in multimedia production, broadcast and non-broadcast design and motion graphics to young creatives embarking on their own journeys in the realm of visual storytelling. Some industry recognition I have includes: BDA (Broadcast Designers Association) Gold Award, Graniteers TV Production Award, and was named on the Top 100 list of Multimedia Producers by AV Magazine. I studied animation at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. I was a freelance animator for Macromedia (back when they were called that). I have experience with Macromedia Director, Flash, Adobe After Effects and now, more recently and exclusively, Procreate. I have been an instructor on Outschool since March of 2020. Before teaching for Outschool, I had hosted local in-person art workshops for children grades 5-8, served as Adjunct Faculty teaching graphic design at the College level, and have taught art to children grades K-8 at a private elementary school.
Homework Offered
Approximately 30 or more minutes of creating and working in the animation app on the student's own time will be expected so that the learner may implement the tips and techniques presented in class, applying them to the class projects.
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
A short rubric of project standards is presented to help the learner and instructor evaluate goals being met and goals that need development.
Grades Offered
“Skill Drills” are step-by-step tutorials for us to practice tools and techniques. The outcomes of these drills are short, purposeful sequences (nothing very creative, just practice exercises). They’re not graded but they are a piece of your class rubric. They COUNT as evidence of effort. “Projects” are more complex. I will be assigning 2 projects. There will be specific briefs (requirements) for each and rubrics that go with the projects so that you can self-assess how your work either met, exceeded, or fell a bit short in certain areas. By default, you will be self-assessing your work and we can certainly chat about your views and compare them to my opinions of your assessment, ways to improve, etc. IF YOU NEED A FORMAL GRADE from me, please let me know today. If you have home-schooling requirements that demand a teacher’s grade, I’m happy to provide it, but I only do that upon request.
Learners must have these tools:
