Assignment:

  1. Produce a new Animate HTML5 HD canvas. Name it “Your Name – Shape Tweens″
  2. Use the Shape tools to draw a shape. You may use Merge Drawing or Object Drawing. (Note: Do not use the Oval or Rectangle Primitives!)
  3. Use the process demonstrated in class to create a Shape Tween that moves and transforms the shape. (i.e. change the shape, color or size and move the shape to a different part of the stage).
  4. Create a new layer and repeat this process with a different shape. Do this two more times, using a different motion and transformation each time.
  5. When you are finished, you should have four layers, each with a different Shape Tween transformation.
  6. Turn in the completed “Your Name – Shape Tweens.fla” file to today’s Google Classroom assignment post by the end of today.
