Creating Animations Using Google Slides

This week we made our own animations!  We were able to use a template that Whaea Fiona created for us, or use our own characters we made last week.

We used Google Slides, Images, Shapes and lots of duplication of slides to create our animations.

The part we found most difficult was making sure we didn't have our characters move too far from one slide to the next. We had to create a lot of slides to have our characters move smoothly. 

A tip is to only move the character a little bit each time - the more frames you make the better the result!

Have a look at some of our creations!

Creating Our Own Cartoons

We have been learning about how to create a cartoon character from scratch. We could use some images found online, but we also had to use shapes and other tools from Google Drawing.

These are our characters so far. We had to make them with a Christmas theme so we could use them in creating our own animations next week!

We created these by using our chromebooks, Google Draw, shapes, and images. We pasted our drawings into a shared Slide deck.

We are proud of our characters because we invented them and made them exactly as we wanted them.

Something that was quite challenging was getting the shapes to correctly make the character and then find images that fit the shapes. It was complicated sometimes

 

All about US!

We have been learning about how to create a poster that shows people all about ourselves. We had to make sure we didn't put any private information online.

These are our posters all about us, what we like and what we value.

We created these by using our chromebooks, Google Draw, shapes, images and Word Art.. We pasted our drawings into a shared Slide deck.

We are proud of our posters because we worked hard on them and it took a long time.

Something that was quite challenging was trying to figure out what we could put on the posters that wasn't private.
