We worked on the beginner bouncing ball animation lesson. I had students use my bouncing ball worksheet as an introduction to the project. They used index cards and a bull clip to make a flip book. They had 17 frames for a ball moving across, 12 for a dribbling ball, and then 20 for an animation of a ball of their choice.
Here is the video link to my Student Example.
Next week we are going to take their bouncing all and then turn it into an animation in photoshop. They also recreated Steamboat Willie in Photoshop CC 2018.
Students learned how to use the paint bucket tool, brush, marquee tool, eraser, eye dropper, shape tool, workspaces, and restore tool bar, swatches panel, and layers panel.
At the end of the week we did a drawing exercise. I have them draw circles then we did a step-by-step drawing of Mickey. I also had them watch a video from PBS American Experience Walt Disney. There is part 1 and part 2. We watched 30 min of it.
In my post for week 1 for Graphic Design we did the same thing getting their student email account set up and their email signature. Then we went over Microsoft Teams, and One Drive. I call that housekeeping. You have to learn it in order to see/submit their assignments. Microsoft Teams acts as my LMS. I made the Microsoft Teams for Edu playlist on Youtube because I didn’t see much online. Of course every school is different. In my previous teaching jobs we used Google for Edu.
