Abstract

In this module, participants will learn four of Disney's twelve classic animation principles and apply them while creating a portfolio of one of the Internet's most popular image types, the animated GIF. During each session, participants are required to show their finished animation as well as comment on other participants' works. This will help ensure that everyone learns through interacting with others. Participants will also conduct a peer review, after which they can make changes to their work before sharing their entire portfolio during the last session.
