In this engaging live lesson, pupils will be introduced to the basics of animation by creating their own moving butterfly using JIT Animate. Children will learn that animation is made by putting together lots of pictures that change slightly, then play their finished animation to see their butterfly’s wings flap.
The lesson makes a light link to spring and life cycles, while developing early digital creativity skills.
