Animation Workshop with Jeff Chiba Stearns for Ages 7 - 12

Registrations are Non-Refundable.

This 2-hour workshop will showcase various low-tech animation techniques and show students fun and innovative ways to create animation without any special animation equipment. Students will be taught the principles of animation and animation drawing techniques through demonstrations and warm-up exercises. Students will then create animation using stop motion animation techniques such as pixilation and drawing with light. With the "lightning doodle" project, students work together to create an animation using only flashlights. Students will also be taught how to create appealing cartoon characters that they will be able to bring to life by creating their own flip book. This is an excellent way to foster creativity and collaboration and inspire students to continue creating animations without needing any special equipment.
