Let your imagination run wild in this filmmaking workshop! Learn the basics of story creation and methods to create fantastic stop-motion animations. Students will make clay characters, props, and backdrops to populate their animations. Animation workshops encourage a fun, collaborative environment for the students involved.
Get ready for fun! In this workshop, students will take home several awesome examples of silk screen printing. Students learn how to “pull” their own screen prints using a selection of pre-made images and learn how to make multi-layered and colorful prints.
