The Amazing World of Animation

In person

Lamar Smith

Drawing + Painting Class: All Levels

Have you ever wanted to create animations like The Amazing World of Gumball(2011), Steven Universe (2013), or The Owl House (2020)? This is your chance to bring your ideas to life.

In this hands-on class, students will learn the essential skills behind digital animation. Start with guided exercises that introduce the animation program and core concepts, then spend the second half developing your own original animated short. Whether you’re building on skills from previous experiences or exploring animation for the first time, you’ll be supported every step of the way as your ideas move from concept to screen.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a solid foundation to keep animating with confidence. This class is welcoming to beginners while still engaging for those with some prior experience.

iPads will be provided, or you’re welcome to bring your own.
