Overview
The Animation Course is a virtual 12-week class for children ages 11 to 18. it teaches the fundamentals of drawing all the way to the most advanced computer animation techniques. This animation school has spring, summer, and fall courses available to work around school schedules.
Those who can’t participate in the live classes can watch the class recordings and still receive one-on-one teacher feedback and grades.
Led by former Disney animator Chad Stewart, it starts with an Intro to Animation, then moves on to teaching physics, storytelling, and other skills.
They cover details not often seen in other online courses, such as drawing for animation (the particulars of drawing people/animals in an animated world), rigging, modeling, and comics and cartoons. At the end of the program, groups collaborate to create a joint film project.
