In this class we will come together to use our imagination and create our very own GIF. Ideally students will have taken my class,  Creating With Procreate : Beginner Class to Learn the App | Digital Art Class, to understand the basics of Procreate .  This class is designed for learners between the ages of 8-13 who are looking to learn how to design their own digital GIFs and animations using the iPad app, Procreate. The classes will take place in a flex class setting to allow learners to go at their own speed. This will allow for learners to get an in depth understanding of the platform, allowing them to create well beyond the classroom. Students are able to follow along with the design for class or use their imagination and create their own design. 

During class learners will learn:

- How to Create Animations
- Using Layers
- Designing Multiple Animations

Week 1: All About Animations , First Design Animation
Week 2: Animal Animation 
Week 3: Layering + Shading Animation
Week 4: Using Onion Skins to Create Animation
Week 5: Multiple Movement Animation
Week 6: Explore Creativity with Your Own Animation

Each week, I will present my video tutorial and provide a PDF explaining our project that you will need to download. 

Students will share their completed projects with the class during the week by uploading picture or video to our classroom on Outschool so that your fellow students and I can admire your work! Students will also be asked to engage with other students’ work to encourage each other through their projects and assignments. Each week learners will create a video that will share using "I have learned" or "I have loved" statements to talk about their art and the week's topic and assignment. Since this is a flex class with no live meetings we want to ensure as much communication amongst the class as possible. 

Since this is a flex class, there are no live meetings; however, I am available to answer your questions any time during the 6  weeks of class. I will also be posting tips and ideas, suggestions and encouragement in the classroom throughout the course. This is the biggest difference between my course and any other procreate course you might find online! 

This class is all about creativity and freedom to create. As their teacher I will show them the basic skills needed to continue to create beyond their wildest dreams. 

Each student needs to come to class prepared with:
- an iPad, separate from the device they are taking class on
- a stylus pen (Amazon has many great options for good prices); you DO NOT need an Apple Pencil
- Procreate App ($9.99+ depending on currency of your country)
- a smile and their imagination
