CLASS DESCRIPTION
If you want a way to develop your stop motion animation skills over a longer period of time with fun weekly projects, this class is for you!  You can animate using ANYTHING you want (clay, bricks, paper, toys, etc.)  Class topics can include adding sound effects and voices, special effects with hand drawn animation and other objects, body mechanics (walks, runs, jumps, and more), acting (facial expressions, matching audio, pantomime) and much, MUCH more.   A large resource library of animation video tutorials on acting, animation principles and techniques, body mechanics, character design, effects, software training, and storytelling is available for students to use at their own pace as well.

EACH CLASS SESSION IS SPLIT INTO 4 PARTS:
1) Lesson - The teacher will provide a structured lesson with a focus to give students more tools to add to their animation skill set.
2) Sharing time - A fun time where students can share their work with the class, and talk about their animation goals for the day.
3) Feedback and help - A time to ask for ways to improve on an animation, learn a new technique, troubleshoot animation challenges, and get technical help with the animation app.
4) Choice - With any remaining time students get to work on their animation from the lesson that the teacher presented, or on an animation of their choice.

SUPPLIES:  Check the Learner Supply List below to see how students can gather their supplies one week in advance of each class.  Detailed lists and instructions on where to find supplies are offered.

PREREQUISITES:  None!  All levels of learners are welcome.
