    • Animation

    Multiples

    Traditional Animation requires the artist to draw objects multiple times with very little variation. In this exercise students practice drawing simple shapes many times.

    Students are given a worksheet with 8 basic shapes on one side and guidelines on the other. Students are to accurately duplicate each shape multiple times.

    The evaluation criteria for this project is very tough. We insist on the shapes being very accurate, therefore studnets earn only 10, 5, or 0 points.

    Evaluation:

    10 points = nicely done
    5 points = complete but not to a satisfactory level
    0 points = not completed or unacceptable quality.

    The example below by Laura would recieve 10 points:
