Children ages 8 and up are invited to the Pawtucket Children’s Library for a four-week animation class. It will be held on the following Tuesdays (September 10, September 17, September 24 and October 1). Participants will be introduced to the principles that make the illusion of stop motion animation work and apply them in the creation of several short films. They will refine their visual storytelling and be allowed free creative expression in this medium using small move-able objects, cut paper (2D Puppets) Pixilation & Claymation.
At the completion of the programming, toward the end of the last day, we will screen the films at the library.
