This is an exciting project where students learn about stop motion animation and create an individual, personal response. During this stop motion animation project, students will:
- Learn about stop motion animation.
- Create a storyboard of their own stop motion animation idea.
- Learn how to use a stop motion animation App*.
- Create a stop motion animation using pieces of collage. See an example here.
*You need no knowledge of Apps as students will learn through experimentation and self-exploration. It is a great project for them to learn about basic digital tools.
This download includes:
- An 11-slide PowerPoint presentation with links to YouTube* videos, objectives, resources and more.
