YOUR TASK
Create one 2D character using Adobe Animate and then apply simple movement (1-2 movements) to that character using Classic and Motion Tweens. Loop the movement for approximately 10 seconds. Don't forget to consider how your character will move when you are drawing it into Animate. For example, if you want the arm to raise and lower, you will need to ensure that the arm is a separate component (drawn on a separate layer) so that it can be moved easily without changing the rest of the asset (character). |

What is Tweening?
The term “tween” is short for “in between”, signifying the work that animation programs do for you to make your life as an animator easier. You can simply draw the start point of what you want your animation to be and the end point. Then when you apply a tween, Adobe Animate will fill in the parts in between.
For example, you could draw a bee on the left side of your screen and then use a tween to move it to the right side of the screen. Or you could draw a baby with its arm down by its side and then move the arm to be above its head and a tween would make the arm wave. There are many ways in which you can use a tween, it is up to you to decide on the movement!
