Arts! I would recommend that as you study for your 10+2, you start practicing sketching to begin with. Try to observe things closely and sketch them. You can also buy good sketch books from the market for sketching including shading, shadows, and human figures. However, soon you may have to upgrade to more serious books like "The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richards William. Later on you may take up a Degree (multimedia and animation or in design and graphics). Arena also offers such a Degree. Just for your knowledge Animation draws the best out of a Creative Person. It offers a person to indulge in music, design, acting, direction, camera, voice design, character design etc. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.

Hello Ashok
Animation calls for a wide bouquet of skills from traditional art skills to articulation skills, storytelling to aesthetic appreciation, and creativity to technical prowess. Learning Software alone won't help you. First acquire artistic skills on paper, then learn application software's for expressing skills in the Digital Medium.
You may take Fine Arts, if available. Digital Media and Animation related programs are offered by lot of Government Colleges and Autonomous Institutes & Universities.
If fine art is not avialble then take subject or your choice and start learning foundation and digital applications. You may do a Certificate or Junior Diploma in fine arts and learn few other creative aspects such as Acting, Sculpting, Stop motion animation with clay, sand etc., Quelling etc. to enhance your abilities and create good portfolio.

Web Design course at Arena is 6 months of fast track and 12 months on normal track. The course is called GWD. Alternatively you can go for AAIP on fast track and finish within 2 years. Then you'll be equipped for Web Design (depending on centre policy, e.g. at chandigarh arena we offer dreamweaver alongside aaip), animation, vfx, graphic design. etc at the end of this period. This would ensure that you're ready for web design (the career you're looking at right now) as well as many more career options that the future holds for the design fraternity. So you would not miss out when the growth starts with animation and gaming. Wish you the best for your career.
