Clay Animation | Ages 10-12

Concept and Experience

Young artists explore the fascinating process of claymation in this unique workshop. Students learn the tools necessary to make their own short stop-motion films, including storyboarding, creating characters using self-hardening clay, and making mixed-media backdrops. Wallace and Gromit films, Kristin Lepore's "Move Mountain", and more provide inspiration throughout the week. With help from one another and the instructor, students produce and film their stop-motion animation on iPads provided by PenArt. All videos are sent via email following the workshop.
