In this course, registrants will be taught the foundations and core principles to both animation and illustration, with a primary focus on 2D design. This will include introducing the class to beginner-level animation concepts such as a “squash and stretch”, “exaggeration and anticipation,” “scene compositions,” and how these concepts also directly relate to character design. By the end of this course, participants will have knowledge on how to build a character sheet with expressions and props, become familiar with how scenes are constructed, and step into the world of entry-level animation production. We invite folks 14 and up to join Brianna for this exciting course!
