Coding: Digital Arts, & Animation
Combine art and programming to create animations and interactive visual projects in Scratch. Students use word-based blocks to explore timing, movement, and effects while developing their own creative style.
What students do
Students explore the connection between art and programming through project-based animations and interactive designs in Scratch. Lessons introduce sprites, costumes, drawing tools, loops, and events, with unplugged storyboarding activities that support creative planning. Students practice coordinating movement, experimenting with visual effects, and independently refining their work as they develop original digital creations.
