Activities To Do At Home

Published by under 2011-12,Animation,Assignments and tagged: , , ,

Over the next week I want you to complete the following  at home, (or during study hall after school if you do not have access to a computer at home).

1/ Quia Activities – These activities are great for reviewing what we have been learning since September, for pre-assessment (what do you already know BEFORE we start a unit), or for current self-assessment of your understanding of what we are currently learning in class.

2/ Create an animation at home using some of the free software that you can download (Mac or Windows) or using an online website. Please comment on this post to include some software or online websites that you have used to create animations and share them with your classmates.

Here are some ideas to start:

Have fun! Remember to send me the links to your finished work, or post the link in the comments. You can also upload your work to the class Flickr website if it is saved as a movie file. (.mov)

    Animasher is really fun. I did not understand at first what I needed to do when I got to the link’s page, then when I saw what I needed to do ( just so you know there were also instuctions that helped me).

    Dvolver was pretty fun

    I think that sketch star is a very fun and unique animation program. It’s unfortunate that you can only save work if you’re a member.

    This is my animation on animasher. In it, the hamster chases the bird away, the kitten chases the hamster away, the cat chases the kitten away, and the dog chases the cat away.

    Sketch Star was fun.

  10.   # Emmaeon 13 Jan 2012 at 12:16 am

    This is my animation. I used Stykz.

  11.   # Max H.on 17 Jan 2012 at 6:34 pm

    I worked on Skytz. It’s intersting and pretty easy to create an animation. It’s also fun.

    I used sketch star for these animations and I loved using this program

  13.   # Ellaon 30 Jan 2012 at 4:40 pm

    These animation websites helped me create a lot of fun animations. Some of the websites and animation in general can be confusing. Its still a very fun activity to do at home.

    I made a video with my own software that shows exaggeration. here is a link to it:

    Dvolver was pretty fun even though there were limited options for your animations. :)

    Dvolver was fun but there were little choices and seemed too short.
    Sorry I didn’t blog earlier.

  20.   # Brianna Robeck :)on 31 Jan 2012 at 8:25 pm

    I think that DVOLVER was very fun, you can have music, a setting, backround and cool characters.

  26.   # Eliason 05 Feb 2012 at 12:25 pm

    I used Styks which was really simple so i picked that one and it had a person already made for u so its easier.

  27.   # Daniel Cooneyon 05 Feb 2012 at 12:43 pm

    To tell you the truth, I hated SketchStar. Made no sense to me whatsoever. But i made mine on Dvolver, which was fantastic! Ms.Rudzitis, what is your e-mail? I need to send this to you.

    I really liked scetch star but you may not be able to see it because I did it on a different computer and couldn’t send it

  33.   # Zoeon 08 Feb 2012 at 5:55 pm

    I downloaded one of the animation options. I made a man doing a cartwheel! The animation was very fun to make and I really like using Stykz (that is the one I used). The options were something like Photoshop and Frames but to me, this was easier.

  34.   # Alexandra Crawfordon 08 Feb 2012 at 7:27 pm

    I found Dvolver fun and very easy to use!

  35.   # linda rahimon 10 Feb 2012 at 6:59 pm

    I used Sketch Star and my animation is about a flying U.F.O. It was really fun. :)

  36.   # Tommy Richardson 11 Feb 2012 at 4:45 pm

    Using the animation websites to create an animation was great. I enjoyed Stykz because I could create a animation from stick-figures. My animation is about a guy playing basketball.

    A great animation website is

    I am in 6/7a here is the animation for homework

  39.   # Patrick Machadoon 16 Feb 2012 at 4:26 pm

    Using the 12 principles of animation is great. I enjoy using squash and stretch because it can stretch through anything with a shape. My animation was a kid playing dodge ball.

    Well I have had an acount for Sketch star… (Cuz I put it up there) So here is an animation I made!

    Skytz is a fun and simple way of making a good animation. My animation was of a guy falling down a set of stairs.

  43.   # Khadia=)on 27 Feb 2012 at 6:17 pm

    Hi,
    I created an animation with Dvolver & sent it to your email.

    Thank-you !

  44.   # Laura Joyon 28 Feb 2012 at 7:39 pm

    I used Sketch Star. It was very simple and a lot of fun.

  45.   # liamon 28 Feb 2012 at 9:18 pm

    I thought dvolver was preety cool. I liked how you could pick backrounds and characters and that you got to tell them what to say.

  46.   # leutrimon 29 Feb 2012 at 4:54 pm

    the stykz is really fun!

  47.   # Tayloron 05 Mar 2012 at 6:09 pm
