數位藝術：Procreate 動畫俱樂部 | Procreate 中的動畫 |創建 GIF

In this on-going club, young animators who are experienced with the Procreate application for drawing/sketching will meet each week to develop their animation skills, by learning traditional animation techniques, diving further into Animation Assist in the Procreate application, and creating their very own "moving pictures."

We will work together to create an animation each lesson, and at the end everyone will have an opportunity to be Spotlighted to showcase their work. All comments will be positive and uplifting! If a learner doesn't prefer to talk they can use basic gestures like thumbs up/down or head nods and shakes. 

Animation Skills we may cover:
- Squash & Stretch
- Slow In, Slow Out
- Anticipation
- Exaggeration
- Staging
- Timing
- Walk Cycles

Class Structure: 
- Check in and share artwork (optional, some learners may decline)
- Go over weekly prompt and view demo animation
- Set up Procreate file**
- Draw along with step-by-step demonstrations
- Share animations (optional, some learners may decline)
** We will set up Animation Assist either at the beginning or after the illustrated components are finished. This will vary per project. 

Prerequisites:
- Know how to use Onion Skins, or be willing to learn on the fly
- Know how to change Frames Per Second, or be willing to learn on the fly
- Know basic Gestures: Undo / Redo in Procreate app or chosen Android app
- Know how to use Move & Selection Tool, Color Fill, Brush / Eraser, Opacity, Layers / Groups, etc. in Procreate app or chosen Android app
- Basic drawing skills

--> This class will be *partly* learner directed, and each week learners should feel free to add their ideas or recommendations to the Classroom Discussion Board for our upcoming projects. <--

Creativity is encouraged! Learners may follow along to replicate the animation I am creating exactly as I do, OR they may use the skills they learn to create an animation entirely of their own design.
