Bringing Work to Life in Procreate Dreams | iPad Animation Lesson | Grades 6 to 12

Students learn one big new idea: timeline thinking. They import their own illustration, animate a single element with keyframes, then build it into an 8 to 30 second sequence. Along the way they choose between a loop and a linear animation and learn how easing makes motion feel natural. The guide includes a simplified entry path for students who need a fresh start.

What's included: session guide with timing, teacher prep checklist, timeline teaching reframes, loop versus linear guidance, sticking points, two differentiated tracks, and an exit checklist · editable Canva slide deck

Grades: 6 to 12 · Time: 3 hours, adaptable to class periods · App: Procreate Dreams
