Animation Fundamentals

About Course

Course Description:

This Animation Fundamentals course is designed to introduce students to the art and science of animation. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on exercises, and creative projects, students will learn the principles of animation, 2D and 3D animation techniques, and gain proficiency in industry-standard animation software.

Course Content

Week 1-2: Introduction to Animation
Understanding the history and evolution of animation Role of animation in various industries Animation principles (e.g., squash and stretch, timing) Overview of animation software (e.g., Adobe Animate, Blender)

Week 3-4: Traditional 2D Animation
Hand-drawn animation techniques Frame-by-frame animation Creating a simple 2D animation project Introduction to keyframes and the timeline

Week 5-6: Digital 2D Animation
Working with vector graphics Animation software interface and tools Tweening and easing Building more complex 2D animations
