FableVision Learning’s Animation-ish is an easy-to-use, web-based animation program, created by New York Times bestselling author/illustrator Peter H. Reynolds (The Dot, The Word Collector, Say Something, Judy Moody).
Designed for grades K-12, Animation-ish provides students with a fun, rewarding experience that seeks to foster the ability to animate across the curriculum with confidence with an easy-to-use interface that:
Sparks creative thinking and imagination.
Provides engaging activities that integrate creativity across the curriculum.
Helps teachers create exciting lessons that represent content visually.
Boosts digital literacy skills.
Teaches basic concepts in animation and graphic design.
Animation-ish also includes online animation lessons from Peter H. Reynolds and the animators at FableVision Studios.
Animation-ish includes three levels so students can learn to animate at their own pace:
Wiggledoodle-ish provides a simple set of tools to draw, trace, and animate with just three frames. You can also import and trace any graphic.
Flipbook-ish includes an infinite number of frames so you can create longer animations that teach or "show what you know."
Advanced-ish introduces the mover tool, which allows for more complex animations using foregrounds, backgrounds, and movement across the screen.
Animation-ish is an annual subscription and available as a web-based application. Online hosting lets students log in 24/7, from any computer connected to the internet — allowing them to design anytime, anywhere.
Subscription is annual from time of activation.
Animation-ish is now available as an online creativity tool. The information below relates to our legacy, downloadable version.
