Animation is a versatile medium that allows for the creation of movement in both analogue and digital formats. This class will go over both, with half of the time spent on traditional animation projects such as flip books, paper cutout stop motion, and zoetrops; and the other half working digitally with hand drawn 2D animation on iPads. Students will leave the camp with physical animation pieces, digital animations practicing various techniques, a group collaborative project, and a better understanding of animation as a whole.

Unleash your creativity in this fun-filled stop-motion animation camp designed for young artists! Working as a team, students will learn how to layer 2D moving puppets with large background drawings to create moving pictures.
