The iCreate course offers a dynamic and engaging curriculum that explores the intersection of technology and creativity. Pupils will dive into a variety of artistic and technical areas, including Stop Motion, 2D animation, video editing, magazine writing, content creation, cinematography, and 3D drawing. This module provides students with the opportunity to understand how technology can be used across art, design, animation, and video editing. Initial workshops introduce the basic skills needed to use relevant software and tools, while later stages encourage pupils to apply more advanced techniques and interfaces as they develop their projects. Each level of the course builds upon previous lessons, helping students deepen their knowledge and refine their skills. Whether focusing on animation, design, or video production, iCreate demonstrates how these creative disciplines can be applied in real-world contexts, preparing pupils for future opportunities in the world of digital media and design.
The class will be taken through different art mediums. They will explore drawing and painting, interior design and computer generated design. Throughout this course the class will also have the opportunity to explore the evolution of the camera and learn about the first photo ever taken.
During iMove, pupils will learn about ‘Stop Motion’ animation. They will gain a number of animating skills to create their own stop motion animation on an iPad. Pupils will have to create a plot and overcome the challenges involved in animating multiple objects and characters within one frame.
This course focuses on 2D and hand drawn animation. Pupils will learn how to bring two dimensional drawings to life through use of the app ‘Do Ink Animation’. They will animate a given story line on ‘Scratch Jr’, mixing coding into their creativity, as well as creating their own animated Lego figure and finally create a flip book.
During the first half of iStop Motion, pupils will learn about stop motion animation and create a short stop motion film. Following this, pupils will learn about post-production effects such as ‘Chroma key’ and ‘Foley’. Pupils will finish by combining their animation and post-production skills together to create a final piece with sound, video effects, chroma key and animated 2D titles.
During this module pupils will learn basic and advanced editing techniques and video effects to produce a music video. Pupils will edit, cut and splice footage supplied to them in order to create their final video. Pupils will utilise search functions within the app iMovie to sift through stock videos and choose appropriate clips to match the audio.
This module looks into early 2D animation and its development over time. Pupils will start with basic flip books before developing different skills to produce a 2D piece of vector art. Students will focus on character design, plot development and how characters will interact.
Pupils will learn how to create different multi-media digital content. They will look at filming, coding storyboards, complex editing, GIFS, Cinemograph, AR and 3D drawing. Pupils will learn how these are applied in real-world contexts to create content for online and digital applications including websites and IOS software. At the end of the half term pupils will produce a digital gallery of their work and present it to the class in the app Keynote.
