Stop Motion Animation at the Richmond Art Center
My Stop Motion Animation curriculum went through an exciting evolution at the Richmond Art Center this past year, Fall 2017 and Spring 2018.
I spent nine months with the center’s Art in the Community Program teaching Stop Motion Animation to students from fourth to sixth grade in five different classes in three different schools. My focus was to encourage students to see themselves as artists and to find multiple ways to engage in the arts. I have students create, puppets, collage backgrounds and animated clips. They can visualize their ideas using a script or storyboard, drawing from their own experience, fables, and riddles.
I taught the same program as a Summer Camp class at the Richmond Art Center, three hours a day for five days. These classes felt very successful with a lot of enthusiasm, creativity, and a good amount animated video. Above, on the right, is a compilation of animated video from all of these classes. To the right is a compilation of some of the art and the effort that went into animating for these classes. |

My work at the Richmond Art Center; Art in the Community Program, during this time was based on using Stop Motion Animation to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math.
