Animation is a class about making your images that you created to come to life. The most important part is to show your work in real life. I knew before the class was how to give my creations come to life but i didn’t know was how to give them sound. I made graphic art for my scripts so i may have an idea for making games and animation. Another reason was for i saw all these animations on youtube i was became curious on how to make an animation. That is my reason for joining the animation class.


It favorite assignment was the Thaumatrope for it reminded me of my childhood. When i was i child i watched the movie Sleepy Hollow starring Johnny Depp. Every time you see a thaumatrope in the movie it was sad and dramatic. Whenever i see the thaumatrope i knew here comes the horseman. Other times it will show a flashback of his mother being killed by his father for she was a witch.


The walking animation for with each step i couldn’t get the walking down. Every time i try i get the legs mixed up. I will get the distance between the legs right but when they come together to switch places i loose track. The other reason was the bending of knees or the foot. The easiest part was the top body motion.


If someone takes this class they will gain the knowledge on not just creating images but on how to give your image a life that you created for it. What they may not learn well it's their job to work harder to earn this knowledge. Someone may say it's a useless skill in the work community. I think it doesn’t matter if it’s not a useful skill because that's not the point. The point is to express yourself in a new way of art.
