Arts Award Unit 2 Event

The participants decided to give a series of workshops lasting the entire day to the after school animation club at Thomas Adams School. This event was designed as a more advanced workshop for the animation club. the participants were able to teach the club what techniques they had learn't and developed.
Each participant designed and managed their own animation station with their desired animation technique. For example Elliot had 3 computers with the 3D software Cinema 4D, he taught the group how to animate their own name in the software and how to operate lights and the 3D camera. Where as Caroline demonstrated how to create a hand-drawn animation using a lightbox, paper and pencil.

Each of the animation club children were in on station for an hour or so, they then rotated around to a new station.

The day ran perfectly (scarily) smooth and I was so proud of all the participants.
