On Day 2 Mr.Dhanraj gave the children a brainstorming session on Flash animation.Once the session was done, the children were given the task of creating the story board for their animation projects. They came up with varied and unique ideas. Day 3 the children were given the task of completing the posters using Photoshop. Each Student came up with three posters each. On day 4 and 5 the children started off with their animation projects. They were very excited to create moving objects and have done an excellent job on various topics.
Varshini of grade 9b says, The AYV Workshop was very interesting. My Friends and I learnt many new and interesting concepts. Both the Photoshop and animation sessions were educative and fun to learn. UsingPhotoshop we did three postures on “Saving our Mother Earth”, “Saving the Nature” and “Save Water”. For the animation project we did a short movie on “Smoking in public places could lead to punishment”. My Team mate Nimbamma from the Govt High School too was very corporative and fun to work with. I enjoyed as well as learned a lot from this AYV Workshop. We are very grateful to Mr.Dhanraj and Ms.Arpana for helping us to improve our knowledge both in Photoshop and animation.
