Class Experience
Learn to illustrate and animate!
Learn all about film shot composition, storyboarding, and visual storytelling by designing a superhero character, and making your own comic book and digital animation! Participants will improve their drawing skills through the staging and drafting of an original visual story concept they create on paper. Participants will dive into drawing techniques and create original characters, personalities. Next, the comic will be translated into a digital drawing, as kids learn to bring their comic to life using Procreate! Kids will learn frame-by-frame animation and bring their animation to life with digital animation! Finally, children will have the opportunity to design and build their very own character costume, and film a short component of their story.
