The Art of Stop Motion Animation

 At the end of your work today you will answer this survey individually. Make sure to start your survey at least 20 min prior to the end of class. CLICK HERE

Introduction:

There are many methods that can be used to create animation. They all start with 'the art'. For the month of October we will explore the earliest influential animators, their art and their method of animation known as Stop Motion, which is still practiced today. To better understand stop motion you will create your own stop motion animation. You will begin this project on Friday. Today you will read about stop motion and complete a short feedback survey about what you have learned.

You will learn about one of the earliest animators, Lotte Reiniger who was German and practiced animation prior to Disney and most major studios in the United States.

Classwork:
