Stop Motion Animation

Teaching artist Tracy Fox empowers students of all ages to become creators and contributors and not just consumers of digital information. The students, regardless of their artistic confidence, become stop motion animators and create movies inspired by their own voice, words and writing. In a series of workshops students expand their reporting, storytelling and literacy skills and have fun with hands-on art-making. Students learn how basic mathematics plays a role in translating a single frame/drawing into a unique movie. This program excels in creating a social-emotional learning environment for students to collaborate. Learning throughout the design process, their movies teach what they know, share ideas, process emotions, and tell stories. The theme of the movies and residency topic can range from short autobiographical stories, how-to guides, poem illustrations, science and history topics … The student’s words and ideas are turned into vivid moving animations that can be shared in a culminating movie screening. This program has been successfully implemented in both in-person and virtual class settings, as well as in multiage and bilingual classrooms.
