Learning animation is part lecture, part practice and part critique. A typical week mixes all three.
Morning: concepts and demos
Sessions often start with a demonstration, such as a walk cycle or a lighting setup, followed by time to try it yourself while someone is nearby to help.
Afternoon: practice time
Most learning happens at the desk. You work on assignments, ask questions and trade tips with classmates, because everyone gets stuck in a different place.
The fastest way to improve is to show work before it is ready.
Critiques make you faster
Showing unfinished work feels uncomfortable at first. It is also the quickest way to improve, since fresh eyes spot the problem you have stopped seeing.
