We talk about what animation is, examples of animation students have seen in their lives, and walk students through an intro lesson where we animate a bouncing ball. From there, we dig deeper into the animation desk features to teach students. How to expand their animation experience. We make sure important vocabulary such as frames, layers. Timeline, onion skin, is showcased and AQB Directory reiterated throughout our lessons. We have found Animation Desk appropriate for grades 2-12.
