By: Andrew P. By: Kyra M. "I like that in my animation the squares turn into circles and the circles turn into squares. Also, each shape changes color. My shapes sometimes kept the same color but changed from a linear gradient to a radial gradient. In one tween I had a large circle that changed into smaller circles except in a different color, then they came back together with the two colors I used." | By: Julius F. " I liked the moving shapes project the best because I liked when I put holes in the shape and tweened it, then the shapes were moving with the holes in them. It was an unexpected thing in my project. I liked the colors I chose, too. By: Abraham S. | By: Briyana J. "I like this animation. At first it was hard but then I started to get it." By: Vasant B. "I like this project because I like how I changed the colors and shapes. I achieved my goal of over 300 frames and it looks cool." |
Today in class we celebrated student achievements in Flash animation as we screened our first three projects. Students reflected on their accomplishments and described what they thought were the most successful solutions to each project. Most students liked our 3rd project best, the Moving Shape Animation, which is featured below. Students separated shapes onto different layers so they could have more control over each individual shape's movements. One goal of this assignment was for students to make at least two shapes interact with each other in some type of pattern. The project rubric is here.

Check out the latest Photoshop work from our Advanced Media Artists! Read student blogs under the 6th period menu to learn more about these projects!
One idea that artist JR describes in his TED talk is how art can create change. After displaying their photos in class, Chute 7th graders discussed how their photos will change the way people see them and create an impact when they go on display in the halls next week.
Advanced Media Arts students are busily finishing their first Photoshop projects and continuing on to try some new ones. See some of the finished ones below!
