¡Puedes animar!: Introducción a la animación 3D

Welcome! 

This is a short and fun class designed to get young artists started in animation, specifically 3D/CG animation! We will be using a free program called Blender, but I will also discuss alternative programs for creating 3D animations. I will be sharing a couple beginner rigs to use for a short animation exercise. This intro lesson creates excitement in art/animation and boosts confidence so that students can come to the realization that animation is something they CAN do and CAN be good at, even if they don't draw often or are just starting out in their creative journey.

The first half of the class will be exploring the program and basics of 3D animation. Then we will animate together step-by-step using the rigs provided. Once we get the hang of the basics of animation, students will use the rest of their time playing around with the program and rigs!
