Sample Schedule

Here’s a sample of what a week in the course could look like. Please keep in mind that students will progress at varying paces; this is a general outline of key material and the overall student experience.

Students will learn the fundamentals of drawing and design, and then create their own animation using Adobe Animate.

Next, students will brainstorm and design a unique character. They’ll draw a turnaround model sheet of their character and then bring them to life with hand-drawn animation.

Lights, camera, action! Students will dive into the basics of storyboarding and story structure. They’ll develop their own timed animatic of an original story using their character.

As they work towards a polished final project, students will edit and refine their videos in Adobe Premiere Pro, adding sound effects and music.

Now it’s time for all the finishing touches to go into the final project before it exports! As a capstone for the week, students will debut their films in an animation showcase for the whole class to enjoy.
