This year eighth grade artists used a new technology tool in the art room to create their own stop motion animation videos. Students worked in groups and used a free app called PicPac or Stop Motion Video to create their own projects. Stop motion animation is animation that is captured one frame at time, with physical objects that are moved between frames. When you play back the sequence of images rapidly, it creates the illusion of movement. Some groups created scenery and used objects for their videos while others used themselves to create the movement. I loved seeing the creativity that came from this project. Ask your students to share their videos with you! I have included two fun examples below:
Congratulations to the following artists who have work displayed at the show: Gracie Wheeler, Tanner Ford, Cora Sprick, Hannah Barnes, Elizabeth Hamilton, Stella Fiorini, Chris Manley, Joey Stewart and McKensey Kendall.
