Introduction to Animation
DATES: Tuesdays, August 5, 12, 19 and Fridays, August 8, 15, 22 from 1:00 – 4:00 PM
Animation is the art of creating the illusion of motion through frame-by-frame manipulation. Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring different techniques of stop motion animation including mixed media, hand drawn, and cut paper. Participants will work in groups and on individual projects inspired by theme. No previous art or computer training is required, just a good imagination and some patience.
This workshop is open to all young people ages 11 to 19. We also offer a limited amount of scholarship support, based on need. Please call us at 215 222 4201 for more information.
