Digital and Traditional Animation for Teens (Ages 12-17)

Animation is a versatile medium that allows for the creation of movement in both analogue and digital formats. This class will go over both, with half of the time spent on traditional animation projects such as flip books, paper cutout stop motion, and zoetrops; and the other half working digitally with hand drawn 2D animation on iPads. Students will leave the camp with physical animation pieces, digital animations practicing various techniques, a group collaborative project, and a better understanding of animation as a whole.

We may be able to transfer you to a different class depending on space availability.

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.

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 on our website or call our office for assistance applying. Applications are available in Spanish and English.

MULTI-CLASS DISCOUNT:

When you register for more than one class, you can receive a discount up to 10% per class! You must call and register through the front office for this discount. 

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.
