I learned a lot this year in digital design and animation. A lot of this stuff is gonna be useful to me maybe for the rest of my life if I do end up taking up a career in animation. One of the main takeaways I had from this class was how to use all of these programs. When I first set foot in this classroom I had never used any of these programs before in my life, not even photoshop. I think learning how to use things like Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, and all of the other programs we used in this class are a great advantage to have. As our society relies on technology more and more for things, it's extremely useful to know how to use it. Another major takeaway was learning how to 3D model. I have wanted to explore 3D modeling for a very long time now but I just never knew how. At first glance it seems like something that would be very complicated but this class broke it down and taught me how to do it. Something in this class that felt the most rewarding might have been getting that last 3D animation project. Of course it wasn't the best that I could have ever done but I had to drop everything else I was doing and focus on that and turning it in was so satisfactory. Something that i learned that I believe will follow me into the future is definitely everything we learned about animation. I've wanted to be an animator ever since I was a little kid and even if I didn't finish all of my animation assignments I still learned a lot. This summer I am going to be going to an animation camp and I believe that all my knowlege on things like keyframes and the principles of animation will definitely benefit me. Also like I previously stated, I think I'll carry my newly developed skills in programs such as photoshop with me because that is a program that is used all the time for school, work, editing, and a lot more. Graphic explaining this course is below. Summary is below graphic. Summary: I learned a lot this year. Some takeaways were the programs I learned to use and the things I learned about animation.
