Introductory Message

Welcome to TVL – ICT (Animation)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Iloilo and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through
the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to
guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents, and responsible adults) in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TVL - ICT (Animation) Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the
teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency
(MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will
be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent
learning.

For the learner:

The TVL - ICT (Animation) Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue
learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with
meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner,
carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer
the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

II. Background Information for Learners

Animation is a technique where objects and drawings are shown in
sequence to create the illusion of movement. It can be created in many forms
including the hand drawn, cut outs or computer drawn using computer
software and equipment.
Over 35, 000 years ago, this technique was depicted through cave
paintings of animals to convey the illusion of movements. From the early
inventions and up to now many new technologies were developed to create
animated films and multimedia. Nowadays, animation is widely used in
different areas. As the demand for multimedia animation increases the
number of available jobs and students who wants to learn the animation also
increases.
The animator is a person who creates or is involved in the process of
creating an animated film. To become a good animator, you must master the
art of drawing, observe the soft skills and hard skills of the successful
animators, you should be versatile enough to make various kinds of
animation, create your own style and branding, deepen your knowledge, and
