Our Digital Art & Animation Classes this semester will focus on illustrating, designing and of course animation! We’ll create original characters for video games, abstract illustrations, intricate designs of products, vehicles and buildings, fantasy backgrounds, and simple animations. You’ll learn how to create sprite sheets, colour and shadow rendering, and the difference between frames and layers when animating multiple moving objects. By the end of the semester, you’ll have created so much amazing digital artwork, you’ll have a portfolio to be proud of and a few animations to share with family and friends.
Creating Characters for Video Games
A popular and growing industry for digital artists is designing and illustrating characters for video games. The Centauri Digital Art and Animation classes will provide kids and teens with the opportunity to design an original character and create a sprite sheet, two important skills to learn if they wish to become an artist for video games.
Abstract Illustrations
It is essential for any digital artist to understand the use of shape and colour. In the Centauri Digital Art and Animation classes, kids and teens have the opportunity to develop these skills through a series of exercises exploring minimalism, various digital tools, and a wide variety of colour palettes. As a result, they will create their very own abstract illustrations.
Digital Designs
If you are a digital artist also interested in design, the Centauri Digital Art and Animation class will look at designing logos, create intricate floor plans, design spaceships for immense space travel, and invent fictitious buildings to be built either here on earth or another planet. Each of these projects will encourage artists to explore their own creativity and enable them to design original ideas.
Fantasy Creations in our Digital Arts Classes
Another fundamental skill as a digital artist is the ability to create immense backgrounds with intricate details through depth and perspective. In the Centauri Digital Art and Animation program, artists will do so by learning about digital paintings and layered landscapes. Each providing the necessary skills to create original beautiful backgrounds.
Animations
Another popular and growing industry for kids and teens in our digital art classes is digital animation. In the Centauri Digital Art and Animation course, artists are given the opportunity to create simple animations. From projectiles and explosions to walking and mouth movements, artists in our animation classes create a series of very short animations.
