Inkscape Animation: Drawing and Movement
Students wrote stories for a short animation, then used MyPaint to create backgrounds and Inkscape to create their characters. They animated frame by frame with Inkscape and used Windows Movie Maker to convert the frames into a video.
Career Exploration: Portfolio Development
Students chose a career in multimedia art, and explored it on an individual basis. I worked one on one with them to help guide them through their exploration. They found inspiration and tutorials on the internet to help them with their focus.
For their final portfolios, they each created a website displaying their work. Below are examples of student websites.
