Spotlight on Learning:                                                                                                                BUTTERFLY

Course: 2D Animation 

Teacher Reflections:

This project is an open-ended design process for students. Students generate their own ideas, then explore options by ‘sketching’ on the 2D stage. Students plan for characters, story ideas, and add a time element to their animation. They then begin actually ‘making’ the scene, and adding animation as they go.  Their project is then exported into a format that allows them to share and collaborate. The file is in a ready-to-share .gif, .png. or .mp4 file format. Students reflect on the process afterward.

Student Reflections: P. Patterson

For this we used adobe animate and were tasked to make a frame-by-frame animation to create a customizable butterfly animation for this we learned,

  • How to Make a project 
  • How to Use layers to animate 
  • And how to complete a frame-by-frame animation 

In this unit we learned how to animate different objects in either frame by frame or tweening.

I had a hard time with exporting the finished animation.

I think that I deserve a proficient because I was able to complete my work and put in effort.
