This summer I have been thinking about incorporating animation into my curriculum. Alas, as with many teachers, I have only one computer and limited funds. Yet with the encouragement of some of my arted2.0 colleagues stop motion seems not just possible but a plausible way to expose my young artists to animation. I have visions of story boards and old digital cameras in our future...
Below is an example created by my 5 year old with very little assistance from me. Summer sure is fun!
The Rotoball project is another great animation opportunity for students. If you have not taken the opportunity to check it out please do so, you won't be sorry! "The Rotoball 2009 Project is an international collaboration between more than 150 students in 20 schools around the world. For more information on the project, see carrotrevolution.com/rotoball."
