2D Animation and Programming
In the course students will learn to animate “cartoon-shorts”, interactive web pages and computer games. Working with both digital art and sound files, student will learn, using hands on training, how to generate cartoons, web pages and computer games. Student will learn to program using an object oriented programming script language called Action-Script. The elements they will learn will include variables, arrays, loops, and object behavior. This class is great for the artist as well as the computer hacker.
What we will be doing in class:
• Compose and design artwork and animations.• Demonstrate skills in recording audio, including voice-over and music.• Design elements using shockwave files in webpage creation.• Design action script code using dot syntax, arrays, event handlers, loops and other central code elements. • Demonstrate use of objects and functions such as hitTest, string, boolean, math, and others.• Create and troubleshoot problem areas in the designs of computer games created in class.
