Digital Art: Animation

Learn to create your own brilliant animations!

Practice your animation skills, work on your own personal projects, or go through the process from storyboard to a fully finished animation with guidance from an instructor. 

There will be weekly exercises and instruction on working from a storyboard to a finished animation, but students will also have the option to work on their own personal projects if they have something they’ve already started on.

SUPPLY LIST:

VAI has iPads available for use during class.

If you would like to bring your own:

• iPad with your preferred animation app installed (instructor is most familiar with the apps RoughAnimator and Procreate, and will be more helpful in regard to technical and software questions with those apps. If you have one that you know well and would prefer to use, you are welcome to use it. Otherwise, RoughAnimator or Procreate is recommended)

• Apple Pencil 

• (Optional) editing software (recommendations: iMovie, LumaFusion, or InShot)

CLASS CANCELLATION:

We find that students learn better in groups. If we feel the number of registrations is too low to promote a good learning environment, we may cancel the class. In the event we cancel a class, we will reach out to you as soon as possible to come to a solution.

TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM:

We try to make our classes as accessible to everyone as possible. We are able to offer a limited number of tuition assistance scholarships each term. You can complete an application in either English or Spanish or call our office for assistance applying.

MULTI-CLASS DISCOUNT:

When you register for more than one class, you can receive a discount up to 10% per class!

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:

Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.

This class is taught in English.
