LOWER SCHOOL ARTS — ANIMATION

LOWER SCHOOL ARTS — ANIMATION

Arts are often sadly neglected today in education. We offer extensive programs in Music Theory and Composition; Animation; and Acting, all designed for home school use. These highly creative, detailed courses provide an education in depth, with an eye toward the creation of professionals. They should generally be done in sequence by the student interested in that art form.

ANIMATION COURSES OVERVIEW

We offer a two-three year program in animation, a full five courses. Four of these courses offer the student a chance to work with an original script by an Emmy-Award winning author. The student is taught how to read and break down scripts, and then led step-by-step through the development of all the elements of an animated film.

The end result of Connect The Thoughts Animation program is a student who has developed considerable skills and a real portfolio that can be used to help the student either enter into an art school, or that can be used to help securfe work in the industry. Additionally, the student will know how to develop a storyboard.

Author's Note: Though courses suggest that you purchase animation paper, it is somewhat expensive and hard to find. For the first two courses, do not bother with animation paper unless you really want to — just use regular blank typing paper or drawing paper.
