Experience the magic of animation in this mixed media, 2-hour workshop. We’ll begin with the absolute basics of animation, exploring how a sequence of still images transforms into a moving picture. Using mylar, participants will hand-draw a short animation, layering frames to see their piece evolve in real-time. We’ll then take our works out into the sunlight, using the cyanotype process to expose our drawings onto large 11x17 sheets. After exposing our paper and letting it develop in a water wash, we’ll use the Stop Motion Studio app to capture our sun-printed frames and watch our animations come to life in striking Prussian blue. This workshop is a perfect blend of old-school analog chemistry and modern digital storytelling.
