Blissfulness. Animation

Blissfulness

Spring 2025

For this Project I decided to make my animation about the emotion Blissfulness. Ever since Ive been in California life has been hectic but what has continuously grounded me is going on bike rides in the morning. When I do I feel a sense of peace, hope and getting out and moving my body in the sun makes me feel very grateful for life and connected to God. it puts me inn a state of Blissfulness.

Animation Project- Pain

Imani Arias- Spring 2025

For my final project I chose to animate the emotion: Pain. I chose the colors and shapes to resemble a girl stepping on a thumbtack and screaming “ow!” I tried to make it longer so that you can see what’s happening, Tween helped to make the transitions smoother. The most challenging part was making long enough frames to really capture its moment. It was more time intensive, animating wise, but it was very rewarding visually.

Blog Post 6- Rage Animation

The emotion I chose was: rage. More specifically, MY rage. That’s when I am very upset but eventually die down just as quickly as I started. It’s like a burst of anger. It’s like everything is terrible but in a split second, everything is now fine. The rage always feels like it lasts longer than it actually does.

“sadness”

Spring 2025

Software: Adobe Animate

I animated the emotion “sadness”. I wanted to show sadness through something that takes a while to make that can be destroyed in seconds. I made a flower growing and then in a second it is destroyed and dies. One of the hardest parts of sadness is how quickly something can change and be over. I was also inspired by how careless some people are with nature. I used Adobe Animate with shape and classic tweens, as well as drawings of each stage of the flower.

Final Animation Project: Sadness tween

Spring 2025

Program: Adobe Animate

I animated the emotion “Sadness.” I enjoyed playing around with the tween and motion parts of Adobe Animate. I attempted to animated my own text with my handwriting instead of utilizing the fonts to give myself more of a challenge. I think I will try to use Animate more for my animation projects instead of another program called “Procreate” I use on my iPad!

Line Moving Project

So for my project I did line moving, and what I did is draw a line moving and tween the color of the background. I’ve also did a storyboard describing the animation step by step.

Envious Rectangle

Animation Final Project

Spring 2025

Adobe Animate

For my animation final project I decided to make an animation on how I envision envy. Envy is usually associated with the color green so I made sure to add green, however I added different shades of green such as light green and a dark green. I then added a rectangle jumping around the screen because envy can lead to anger or feel out of control.

Mother Nature

Spring 2025

Software: Adobe Animate

I animated an encapsulation of mother nature, the day and night cycle. I used Adobe Animate with motion tweens to capture the transition from day to night.
