Using pencil
to draw the beginning of the fireworks. Keep adding frames and moving up until high enough, and can do this slowly with many frames if wanted to. Try and keep the fireworks going up straight.
Using color or mix of color and starting the firework small and getting bigger each following frame.

Save to google drive - students - students name - bouncing bal1.gif BACK TO THE PAPER The second set of frames, don't have to use all of them. But use as many as possible. Like this picture but start the drawing off with the ball normal on the bottom Talk about the idea when a ball drops fast it will squish and bounce back up.
Using the paper as a guide go back into pixil art and using 16x16 canvas size follow the same method but use
instead of copy so that you can draw the ball over and over again with the squish or squash.
