PURPOSE: A device for generating an animation by using an avatar and a method thereof are provided to compose animations through avatars for users in a virtual space by using a 2D image and a text. CONSTITUTION: A model generator(120) generates a parameter model by using feature points extracted from a 2D facial image. The model generator searches a pre-stored database for expression parameters matched with the feature points and feature words extracted from text data. When the text data is expressed by a voice, an animation generator(130) generates a vector indicating position changes of the feature points. The animation generator applies the expression parameters and the vector to the parameter model.
