Camp Breakdown
Day 1 - Pixel Art Foundations
Students learn the basics of pixel drawing, how sprites work in games, and how to build simple shapes and characters. They create their first mini-sprite and explore color, contrast, and clarity at small sizes.
Day 2 - Designing the Hero
Students sketch and design their main character. They explore proportions, silhouettes, and details that show personality. By the end of this session, each student has a completed static character sprite.
Day 3 - Animating in Motion
Students learn how to animate an idle animation using frame-by-frame techniques. They practice timing and smooth transitions using onion-skin tools.
Day 4 - Final Animation & Showcase
Students finish their animation, refine their character, and export their completed sprites. The course concludes with a mini-showcase where students share their creations and celebrate their pixel-powered achievements.
