Description

ClaymationStudents learn to sculpt characters and props with plasticine, developing the model making and animation skills that are unique to this particular form of stop motion animation made famous by Wallace and Gromit. Working at our animation stations to compose and capture frame-by-frame movement, students develop an intuition for the principles of animation, from squash and stretch to timing and exaggeration. Students work with DSLR cameras and the industry-standard software, DragonFrame.
Drawing & PaintingStudents explore methods of visual image-making, using a variety of drawing, sketching, and painting techniques inspired by reference, observation, and imagination. Purposeful play is used with the youngest students to develop the use of tools such as pencil, marker, pastel, paint, and ink, as well as life-skills such as confident self-expression, understanding feelings, and effective listening skills. As students progress, understanding is deepened through increased self-direction, discussion of artists, art history and the use of symbols, abstraction, and representation.
