Learn the art of motion and explore storytelling techniques with the animation programs, tools, and equipment used by industry professionals!

 This foundational animation class is a great introduction for young artists newly interested in the medium, or a way for those with prior knowledge to continue building their skills. Students will complete numerous projects that concentrate on different skills such as number morphs, walk-cycles, and stop motion that will introduce them to digital art practices and continue to build their traditional drawing foundational skills. Class is designed for like-minded students to make friends and collaborate with each other in a creative setting. Prior animation experience not required, but basic understanding of computers will be needed!
