Procreate Animation Club: Make a New Loop Every Week

The teacher introduces one animation principle, such as squash and stretch, and shows it in a tiny loop. Members then animate their own version frame by frame and export it as a GIF. Loops are short enough to finish in class.

How classes work

The club meets every week for 45 minutes with up to 8 learners. There is no last class: each meeting stands on its own, so learners can join in any week and stay as long as they like.

Example weekly themes

• 

  Bouncing Ball – Timing and squash and stretch.

• 

  Blinking Character – Simple facial animation.

• 

  Flickering Flame – Organic looping motion.

• 

  Walk Cycle Basics – Four key poses.

• 

  Morph – Change one shape into another.

• 

  Animated Sticker – A loop to share.

Ages 10-15. Members should be comfortable with layers in Procreate.
