Animation Made Easy
Description
Kathy Sarpi, an experienced animation tutor, will teach kids aged 10+ how to make simple, satisfying animated loops with pen paper, plasticine and a phone app. Explore basic principles of animation by applying simple tips and tricks for making your animations smooth, stretchy and fun.
Kids will explore these ideas both in drawing and with plasticine to produce short stop-motion videos. Suitable for any drawing or modeling skill level, these principles can be applied to loose, gestural and basic shapes and forms.
What you will learn
- Students will come away with short stop motion animations on their phone made from drawings and plasticine. They will also have knowledge about how to apply certain principles to their animation to create different effects. Eg. How to add squash and stretch to create more expression, or how to use arcs and paths to make an animation have a more fluid sense of movement.
What you will get
- Students be able to use what they have learnt at home to continue animation.
What to bring
- bring a mobile phone or ipad (borrow one from parents).
What to wear
casual clothing
