ONSITE: Computer Animation (Ages 12-14)

Learn how to animate on a computer! Students will develop strong foundations in 2-D, digital animation by exploring digital software such as Adobe Animate CC and by learning the 12 principles of animation. We'll complete exercises like synching animation to sound, walk cycles and storyboarding. The goal of this course is to give students the tools and knowledge to continue digital animation on their own.
