Animation Techniques Session 16th Nov

The group was first introduced to student mentor Sam Gainsborough who also helped and guided the students through the animation process.
In the first hour I explained all the different animation techniques showing examples along the way. We looked at traditional animation - Hand-drawn, Cell, Silhouette,
We looked at Stopmotion animation/Rotoscope/2D and 3D

The students then ran free and experimented with any of the above techniques that they wished:)

An exceptionally high standard of work was created which is very encouraging:)

In the afternoon Dr D started the group on the Sliver Arts Award. each member created a blog and started work on Unit1 part D - their strengths and weaknesses. Some also managed a visit to the WTH exhibition to write and evidence some material from the artist Jane Wilson.

Some work created on the 16th Nov is shown below:
