Made for Educators

We’ve designed this course specifically for teachers and parents interested in teaching animation (to both children and adults), or even using animation to teach any other subject.
Animation isn’t easy, but we did our best to collect all the information one needs to be able to convey the basic principles of animation to students of all ages, and even help them build an entire animated project from start to finish using different animation methods. This course is your best starting point for becoming an animation educator.

What will you learn?

Preparation

For each age group you'll be teaching we prepared a complete overview of all the materials, software, and hardware you'll need to teach the course. We'll show you how to set up stop-motion equipment or get the right 2D hand-drawn software ready.

Animation Jumpstart (Ages 6-10)

The first section of the course is aimed at kids under 11. It uses stop-motion as its main animation method. That includes claymation (using Play-Doh), legos, and cutouts. Whether you want to teach animation as an artistic skill or use animation projects as part of your teaching, this section will provide you with the knowledge and materials to help your students hit the ground running.

Animation Advanced (Ages 11 and Up)

This upper-level portion of our course is designed to serve as a roadmap to animation mastery for students ages 11 and up. These lessons are focused on teaching universally applicable animation principles and are useful for students regardless of the specific animation medium they ultimately want to pursue. The animation methods used in this section are stop-motion, 2D vector animation, and 2D hand drawing.

Assignments

Each lesson includes an assignment for you to see how much your students absorbed the material covered in that lesson. They build on top of each other and progress at a steady yet challenging pace.

Final Projects

Both sections of the course (Jumpstart and Advanced) include a final project intended to combine all the skills they acquired in the course into one, longer project - making an animated film. The depth and level of quality required depend on the age group.

Dual Learning Paths: Fun for Kids, Depth for Adults

Our course offers two tailored sections: one for kids under 11, featuring interactive and fun learning, and another for teenagers and adults, with more in-depth and challenging content. This dual approach ensures an engaging, age-appropriate experience for all learners.

Super detailed,
fast-paced.

We dislike long, drawn-out tutorials. We prefer bite-sized lessons with a clear, direct structure that gets straight to the point without losing important information.

Animation courses can get expensive.
