Animation is one of the most unique and versatile mediums of storytelling and art. This class aims to go over the basics of it: covering its history, practicing the 12 Principles of Animation, learning how to use the app RoughAnimator, and strengthening student’s drawing, animation, and storytelling skills. This class is beginner-friendly, but will also have more complex and challenging projects for those who are at intermediate levels.
