Wednesday 10/15

Today students will finish their sticky note animations and turn them in.  We will then choose partners for their stop frame animations and discuss storyboards even further and how they will work with their own animations.  As partners, students will discuss what they want their animations to be about and what tools they need to complete their story.

 

Monday 10/14

Today students will finish their "My Movie" animations and will peer grade them in class.  After our animations are complete, I will be showing students a variety of different types of Stop Frame/Stop Motion Animations from YouTube.  We will discuss how to use multiple different mediums in the picture animations they will be doing themselves.  To build up to these animations we will first be practicing with sticky notes and discussing storyboards and how the two work together!  Students will be working on their sticky note animations for the rest of the period today and continuing on to next class as well.

 

Thursday 10/10

Today students will be moving into their Animation Unit!  We will begin by learning a new program called "Windows Live Movie Maker" which is what we will use for picture animation.  Students will be using this program for two different animation projects.  The first project is a movie about themselves, simply a snapshot of their life.  See below for details.

 

Tuesday 10/8

Today students will choose a word and create a visual image for their view only by using the word itself.  See below for more info and examples!

Happy Monday!  I'm sorry I can't be there with you today as I am home sick.  I would like you to continue working on your typography designs today, just as we have been doing the last few days.  Remember, we are aiming for a Wednesday, end of class, due date!  Therefore, make sure you are working hard today and I expect that you all will be on your best behavior for the substitute. 

For any questions about the process, please refer to the blog post that has the directions listed or the worksheet I gave everyone with the steps.  You may also ask your neighbors for help if you are stuck. 


Don't worry about your ARTiFact, we will catch up on them when I return.

Thursday 9/26
