We have now completed two sessions with both groups of kids at the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library. Both sessions went very well.
For the first session, as the kids arrived they were given time to make a personalized nametag. We watched a feature on movie making and talked about stories and films. The kids were given sketchbooks which they personalized and began to brainstorm on story ideas.
We started our second session with a short film about an animation technique we hope to use. The film clip helped motivate the children to build their own characters and sets out of cardboard, construction paper, paint, markers, glue, or whatever they could find. From here we will take these characters and sets and further blend them into one cohesive story.
