ANIMATION

By simple definition, animation is the creation of illusion of movement using drawings or images when they are shown in sequence. Back then, animators used to manually draw these images and flip through pages to suggest movement in their drawings. But as the advent of technological advancement came upon us, software applications and computer programs were created for the convenience and ease of animators. And thank heavens, you can do your own animation projects using these programs! Animation has slowly become an accessible art even to those who only would like to try.

Imagine you have that power to turn lifeless images into an animation. Awesome, right? So what are you waiting for? Join SKETCH IN MOTION: ANIMATION WORKSHOP with animator Bryan Quesada.
