GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Animation is a Semester course that introduces students to the elements and principles of design by using paper cutouts, sketches, and 3d animation as vehicles for artistic expression and academic understanding. Students will research and study the history and vocabulary of design and animation. They will complete a group design and animation project by semester's end. With the badge now modeled, students will add backgrounds, ground planes, and begin to animate their scenes.
