Animation Curriculum
Note to Parents:
All of the lessons produced in the digital arts lab are intended to expand upon the students understanding of the production of art as a creative and unique endeavor. As such, students are required to produce all parts of the images and animations using original images and ideas. Photographs, graphics and concepts are created as part of the project and integrated into the final piece through collage, computer blending and other forms of imaging.


Curriculum is linked to titles of each lesson and may be saved as an Adobe Acrobat file. Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Flash, 3D Studio Max and Macromedia Bryce are the software packages used for these lessons.
