During this class we will be exploring a range of animation techniques. We will look at the earliest forms of animation which were achieved using Thaumatrope and Zoetrope technologies; whilst learning how to use more modern animation techniques of Stopmotion and Flash. We will also be viewing a number of inspiring animations to get your creative fires burning.
