#9m4 #9p4 Animation

LO: To understand how to create an animation in Fireworks.

Starter: In pairs discuss - What is an animation? How are they made?

1. Open Adobe Fireworks.
(Start, All Programs, Adobe Master Collection CS5)
2. Create a new blank Fireworks document.
3. Draw a circle shape and change the colour to red.
4. Duplicate the state 4 times.
5. Edit each state so that the circle is in a different position each time.
6. Play the animation - What happens?

Have a go at creating  your own animation. It could be a UFO landing, a Happy Birthday message, a running man, etc...

Plenary: Show case what you have done so far. Was it easy or hard? Why?
