====================
**Summary:**

This month, we'll be learning how to animate a range of motions for any character or object. Pick a subject and draw it over and over every week, and you'll get better at understanding how to translate 3d movement into 2d art!

We'll be working on a different set of animations each week, so you can join in at any time. This week's theme is: **environment animations!** We'll cover how to animate common environment objects, how to layer simple animations, and how to add parallax to turn a static background into an animated environment.

Take a look at our handy-dandy reference folder for a sneak peek of what you’ll be learning ->[ https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ttO9Pr0_VCft2R4YcHoqOwjljzzR2C-b](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ttO9Pr0_VCft2R4YcHoqOwjljzzR2C-b)
