<li>How to animate flags</li>
<li>How to animate a walkcycle</li>
</ul>Who is this class for?
This class is the go to for anyone who wants to take the leap in to animation. It's aimed towards students with little or no prior experience in animation and It's great for aspiring animators trying to get into the industry, illustrators who want to animate their work, content creators who want to animate their own videos, or any creative who wants to add another tool to their toolbelt to better accommodate clients.

Recommended apps and software:
<ul><li>Adobe Animate</li>
<li>Adobe Photoshop</li>
<li>Rough animator (iPad)</li>
<li>Calipeg (iPad) </li>
<li>Flipaclip (Apple/Android)</li>
