Classroom Projects
These are my favorite projects that I have done with my students over the years. I hope you and your students will enjoy doing them.
Lip Sync: In this lesson you will practice frame by frame animation technique for animating dialog.
Dump Truck: In this lesson you will practice a bunch of the techniques we have been learning over the last couple weeks.
The Flash Animation Final: This two week final project is wide open and allows students to demonstrate their knowledge of key animation principles, all the animation techniques in Flash, and basic storytelling. This project is designed to follow a series of lessons on the techniques for animating in Flash.
The Cannon Project: This project is a great open-ended project that encourages creativity while forcing students to demonstrate both their knowledge of the animation principles and basic ActionScript.
Instructional Animation: This challenging multi-age project is incredibly rewarding and time consuming. I partner teams of high school students with elementary students to design a short instructional animation on a topic that the elementary teacher is currently studying.
