Graphics and Animation
To animate means to bring to life. And that’s exactly what students do at this station.
At the Graphics & Animation module students bring to life objects and characters they create or import using the popular Macromedia® Flash® animation software.
Along the way, they discover important movement principles, numerous animation techniques, and the functions of animation in today’s society. As a culmination of the module, students create an original animation with a particular purpose: to entertain, persuade, or educate.
Today, computer generated animations are used in many areas of media, from full length animated features to the animated graphics used in news reports or weather bulletins. The information learned at this module help students understand the importants of graphics and animation in today's media world.
