%X The world today is expanding and demands new skills and knowledge. When education processes are combined with technology, they can be highly innovative. The use of animated graphics in modern media is a dynamic, impactful, and essential factor. The presence of motion in these media is primarily a response to the physical and bodily immobility of humans in the confined spaces of the modern era. The proliferation and development of technology and its impact on people's lives are undeniable. Nowadays, all aspects of life are intertwined with technology or are evolving to align with it. Education and learning are no exceptions to this rule. Animated graphics are one of the emerging technologies used in political, economic, and cultural sectors, and its popularity is due to its excellent ability to capture attention and guide the audience's minds toward the designer's objectives. The Harvest Festival, also known as the Thanksgiving ritual, was celebrated in various forms across different regions, from China, Greece, and Egypt to Iran, with different customs and names. Unfortunately, today, it is symbolically celebrated with less vibrancy, mostly in northern Iran, particularly in the provinces of Gilan and Mazandaran. In this study, the introduction of traditional and mythical symbols in today's world, considering the globalization of cultures, the blurring of boundaries, and the issue of the global village (which is very prominent today), has been of great importance. This study aims to explore the visual symbols in a proper and up-to-date manner, with a focus on the rich culture of northern Iran, using motion graphics techniques.
