Animation Station Art Activity
Watch student drawings come alive with simple, frame-by-frame animation. This kid-friendly art tool builds creativity, problem-solving, and design skills—perfect for centers, early finishers, or whole-class demos.
How It Works
- + Add Frame: Insert a new frame to continue your motion.
- – Delete Frame: Remove the selected frame if you need a do-over.
- ◀ ▶ Step Through: Use the left/right arrows to preview frames one at a time.
- Play: Preview your animation from start to finish.
- Loop: Toggle looping to replay the sequence continuously.
Quick Tips
- Small moves, big results: Make slight changes between frames for smoother motion.
- Experiment with timing: Add or remove frames to speed up or slow down an action.
- Keep it short: Start with 6–10 frames, then extend once timing looks right.
Classroom Ideas
- Science: Animate a life cycle or phases of the Moon.
- ELA: Create a short sequence to illustrate a story moment.
- Math: Show a shape transforming (translate, rotate, reflect) across frames.
- Art: Build a bouncing ball, walking cycle, or growing plant to explore movement and timing.
