Have you ever been curious about learning 2D animation or maybe your background within more traditional animation and you'd like to explore 2D digital animation, this course was designed for you. 2D animation is a form of animation in which the scene and characters in the animation are created in a 2D space, rather than a fully realized 3D environment. These animations can use perspective and foreshortening, much like 2D still images, to create the illusion of depth, but do not use 3D computer graphics technology. A 2D animator develops graphic images that simulate movement while working in a two-dimensional artistic space. The artist utilizes a storyboard to create this form of traditional animation but without the depth that appears in 3D art. This type of animation was largely established through traditional animation techniques, in which images were drawn onto a clear sheet that was photographed one frame at a to create a final animation. The 2D animator often creates hand-drawn images on a flat surface such as paper, a clear cell or a computerized storyboard and then draws a new image for each frame of the movement. Once complete, the animator photographs or films the frames in succession to produce action.
