Successful animators have a comprehensive understanding of basic animation techniques and principles. This eight-week course focuses on one of these concepts each class by working traditionally with pencil and paper and also with paper cut-outs. Budding animators will develop a strong foundation, continue to build their knowledge of art and animation, and hone their unique skills. Continuing students will arrive prepared to work on their own project but will also learn additional animation skills throughout the course.
This class will be held entirely online using the video conference interface, Zoom. Students will be expected to have an internet connection, camera and microphone to communicate with the teacher and other students.
Students will need to have an iPad, iPhone or Mac that can run iStopmotion in order to capture their animation. If you do not have access to a Mac or the software, please contact us so that we can try to assist you. Please download the PDF with the full list of materials needed.

Help Us Continue Our Digital Efforts
Since opening over 10 years ago, we have sought to make the museum a place where our guests could find animation, innovation, and inspiration and immerse themselves in the remarkable life story of Walt Disney—the man who raised animation to an art, tirelessly pursued innovation, and created a distinctly American legacy, transforming the entertainment world.
Over the course of our closure, we have increased our digital presence to stay true to our mission. Your donations ensure that we can continue opening our museum virtually to the world, and that future generations can continue to be inspired by Walt Disney’s life and legacy.
