Grade 12 Animation Course Outline

Grade 12 Animation is a course curated to build a working knowledge of digital


computer animation from the perspective of a studio environment. Animation is a ubiquitous
artform that presents the illusion of movement and life through assets created by an artist. In
most studios these assets are either “Cutout” digital rigs, or digital hand drawn cells. In this
course we will be exploring the process of digital animation using these types of assets,
starting from a foundational approach, through to more advanced character animation, and
ending with a final project.

Course outcomes:
The student is expected to develop skills in the following areas:

● Students will gain a basic understanding of terms and knowledge of animation.


● Students will develop drawing skills with knowledge and skill based projects.
● Students will learn basic fundamentals of digital animation in Adobe Animate.
● Students will learn to build “Cutout” rigs and characters in Toonboom Harmony.
● Students will develop methods for 2D animation in Toonboom Harmony.
● Students will animate and perform character acting in Toonboom Harmony.
● Students will learn to work in a pipeline using Toonboom Harmony.
● Students will create their own unique final projects using Toonboom Harmony.
● Students will learn professional development.

Evaluation:
In this course you will be evaluated on development work, project work, and portfolio
work. Development work will be marked on completion. While project work will be marked
based on individuated criteria. Portfolio work is the sum of your development and project
work into showreel pieces for professionalism.
