Inspired by the works of Bridget Riley, the pioneer behind optical art, the workshop will teach kids how to animate with simple, common objects and turn them into pieces of abstract art. Working with objects and creatively breathing life into them opens up new dimensions for kids, thereby facilitating their imagination and thinking. Together we will learn the basics of animation with a special, fun focus on stop motion animation and even how to create fun sounds from household objects for your animation! 

In this session, we will be animating with thin Bamboo/Wooden sticks that one can easily get at any stationary store. Our vision is to create beautiful patterns and designs by coloring these sticks and animating them with a sense of rhythm, motion and even music! Each film from the workshop will have its own sense of style, colors and sounds, each unique in itself.

You will learn to shoot an entire film on your own on a smartphone, beginning to end. This skill will help you in making more stylish and imaginative films of your own and express your personalities!

Thanks to the use of stop-motion, everything that was previously a boring object of everyday use can become a hero of an exciting story. We will learn the secrets of classic animation techniques, and learn how to use our smartphone to become a real “wizard” of cinema.
