Today in class we went over our animation projects and had a critique. For the most part, people recognized my emotion or at least that it was a positive one. I think for the future I want to work on making my work cleaner. I am not very good at drawing so my animation was a little rough. Overall i'm happy with it, being that it was my first animation in the animate program.

For the homework, we are supposed to recall a dream we had in 300 words

I am having trouble remembering a specific dream that I have had. Especially in 300 words. Most of my dreams I will remember for a few minutes after I wake up then I forget.

Many of my dreams involve me not being able to see. I'm not sure why this is. Or I will be in one location and then it morphs into another and Im talking to one person and all the sudden they are another person or an animal of some sort. Many of my dreams are derived from thoughts I had in my subconscious throughout the day. I struggle with anxiety so I would often have dreams which involve people in my life being mad at me or something of that sort.

One dream I am starting to remember is that I was back in high school and my school was doing the musical Annie as our production for the year (which did happen in real life). In the musical I was cast as the mean orphanage director miss Hannagin. Immediately after being cast I was thrown on stage in front of a full audience and I didn't know any of my lines.

I cant remember any other details or dreams that I have had.

Today we worked on animations for emotions. We each chose an emotion and had to act it out in front of the class and each person had to guess what it was. The next thing we did was open adobe animate and using a line, animated out emotion. Each person will guess what each others emotions were in class on Monday, Based on their animations.

In the first day of class, we focused on a few activities based on motion and animation. The first was using a device to animate a series of drawings by spinning it. The second was less about animation and more about motion, with a focus on taking two objects that belong together and using motion (spinning the paper) to put them together. The rest of the class we went over class expectations and the syllabus.
