2D Animation

The 2D Animation course is designed to cover animation principles and to describe Adobe Animate and TV Paint screens, enabling students to produce professional, well-designed, and stylized animation across different fields. Students learn body mechanics using character rigs to make essential motions, such as walking, running and jumping, as well as two-dimensional effects. They animate characters through several techniques, including symbols, tweens and rigging, while mastering sketching and perspectives. Students also learn how to reflect characters’ feelings, design animation backgrounds, construct storyboards, export videos in different formats and apply animation in the industry.
