The summer semester is a six-week session, and the lessons will be different than what we teach in the Fall and Spring semesters. We will focus on the 12 Principles of Animation and use them to make some fun animations together. We will help you grow in your drawing skills so you can create better and faster animations. We will get into character animation and cover key frames, breakdowns, in-betweens, and smear frames. We will also animate visual effects like impact frames, explosions, fire, and lightning to make your character animations more interesting and exciting. This is a class experience that is relevant to beginner, intermediate, and advanced students alike.
