Computer Animation!

(rising grades 7–12)

Discover the art of animation! In this online class, you will learn how to make objects move across the screen with Adobe Animate. Even without drawing skills, you can begin to make shapes and simple stick figures move. The key is to let the computer do most of the work for you. You will learn a bit of computer programing using ActionScript3, so the User will be able to interact with your animation. Have the User guess numbers or names, make choices on what to do next, or just surprise the User with the next event! It will be up to you - the creator of the action!
