I really enjoyed this class. There were weekly assignments that would sometimes take me a while to do and frequent discussion posts. Attendance was mandatory and she would do roll call at the beginning of every class so make sure you show up.

This class mainly focused on drawing stuff on photoshop. If you aren't the best artist you might struggle with this class. I am okay with art, not great, so that could be difficult at times. However, the grading isn't harsh and you won't get penalized for being a bad artist as long as you follow the instructions.

I loved professor Cantrell and thought she was one of the best lecturers I have had at UF. The grading wasn't bad at all and she offered a little bit of extra credit at the end of the semester too.

Know that you will likely want to buy photoshop for this class which can be expensive. You will also need good technology for digital drawing.

This class is fun, sometimes challenging and rewarding.

All semester you are learning how to use Toon Boom Harmony Premium, and the big project in this class is making your own 15 second animation.

Cantrell is sweet and spends a lot of her time in office hours to help students.

You will need Toon Boom Harmony Premium which is only about $18.40 a month.

Very easy to follow lectures, even if you've never used the software. Lectures cover photoshop and illustrator, as well as brief art history and theory lessons. Weekly projects and discussion board posts, with quizzes every couple of modules. One group project, and two final projects but you get three modules to work on them. One is an art work and the other a progress book of all your work in class.
