LESSON 1
Introduction to the Fundamentals of Animation.
In the introductory session, the teacher will introduce you to the basic principles of animation and how to use the Procreate program. In the practical part, you will create a simple animation using the principles you have learned.
Lesson 2
Still Life.

It may seem that a still life is something static, that does not move much, but this is not the case. This project will explore how objects can be transformed in animation, bringing a static image to life. The theoretical part will discuss the works of artists in various styles and look at morphing (smooth transformation of an object).


In the practical part, an animated scene will be created based on a still life. This scene will showcase changes in the shape and color of the objects.

Lesson 3
Landscape and Panorama.

During the theory , we will delve into the significance of landscapes in film and animation, with a specific focus on perspective. In the practical part, we will be creating two different types of landscapes. The first will feature a complex perspective, while the second will showcase a deep panorama, providing a first-person view of the scene.tention to perspective. In the practical part, we will create two types of landscape, one with a complex perspective, and the second with a deep panorama, where the scene is going from a first-person view.

Lesson 4
Human.
We're going to cover one of the most challenging and interesting topics: working with figure sketches and using them in animation. We'll discuss not only the basic movements of characters, but also how to bend the rules of animation, make scenes more engaging, and develop your own style. In the practical part, we'll create an animation featuring a human figure.
Lesson 5
Portrait and Scene Creation.

In this session, we will learn how to combine everything we have discussed in previous classes to create a complex animated scene with multiple elements. The scene can be a composition of all the elements we've covered, or a mini-film with different scenes like still life, landscape, and human figures. We will also cover editing and composition techniques.


During the practical part, we will explore how to combine animations on different layers using the After Effects program. We will familiarize ourselves with the program interface, various effects, and color correction.

MATERIALS NEEDED:
IPad with the Procreate app or a graphics tablet, one of the animation software programs for a computer (Krita, Photoshop, Clip Studio), and the After Effects program for editing.

During this course we will use applications like Miro, to encourage a dynamic and interactive learning experience.
