Walk don't run to learn everything thing you need to know to animate walk and run cycles for characters! In this class we will cover the basics of how to animate both a walk and a run cycle in animation. In the class we will go step by step (yes that's a pun) through all the main components of how to make a walk and run cycle. We will watch real world examples from animated films and tv shows and explain the principles and concepts behind it. Followed by a live demonstration where kids can follow along and create their own animation. At the end of the class children will have the opportunity to share their work with the class and get feedback from the class. Children are encouraged to raise their hands and ask questions at any time they need and to engage in class discussion. Class outline: Week 1: Walk Cycle in place Week 2: Walk Cycle moving across the page Week 3: Run Cycle in place Week 4 : Run Cycle moving across page Animation does require some supplies and children will either require paper animation supplies or a digital app. (please see material list for more info) Come put your best foot forward and make your own walk and run cycle!

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Brian and I am an artist and illustrator from Los Angeles, California. I am a classically trained in fine art and animation. In addition to making art I really enjoy teaching youth and helping them to develop their own unique form of creativity.
I have a number of years teaching and working with youth in various after school programs. I truly believe to that learning should be fun and I strive to provide an environment that is enriching, safe, and creatively nurturing. Students will be encouraged to express themselves artistically and to add their own imagination to the lessons.
Currently, I offer daily and weekly, cartooning courses. These are ongoing classes and the lessons evolve as course progresses, so children that wish to repeat the class will have new material to work from. These are entry level classes designed for anyone with an interest in drawing. All skill levels are welcome. Classes are non-competitive and each student is encouraged to do their own personal best. I believe that students can learn a lot from drawing with each other. In these classes students will have the opportunity to learn from myself but also each other as well.
In addition, I will be offering limited one time classes. This is a good way to test out the course and see if your child would be interested in one of the longer classes. These classes are also a option for tutoring if your child has specific drawing goals. If your child has special needs please reach out and let me know before the first class so I can make any necessary adjustments.Reviews
