    • Animation

    Computer-Based Ball Animation



    After students get a taste for and practice making a basic animation on the Computer, they are given time to make their own Computer-based animation.

    Basic instruction on using Affinity Designer's drawing tools is given so students can make 3-d spheres, Smiley faces, and other, more complicated, illustrations. Tutorials can be found here.

    Students must email the finished ".mov" file to Kulzer when it is completed.

    Evaluation:

    3 point -- Minimum of 3 bounces
    2 points -- Additional Motion
    2 points -- Utilization of squash and stretch principles
