Animation

Todays seminar and Mondays lecture made me really excited about the task we have to do this week. As soon as animation is mentioned my mind started goin over loads of different things we could make our 30sec stop frame animation about and planning different props and charactors. If this is what I got like as a 20year old students, imagin how excited and imaginative a child would be.

It is something i feel can be linked in with any subject in the curriculum. It links especially well with literacy planning and writing stories, story boarding, charactor development etc. It also works well with history and telling the different stories throughout time.

Hannah and I are going to be doing our clip on Henry the 8th and his 6 wives. This would be a fantastic way for pupils to sum up and show others what they have learnt throughout a topic.

When we are finished we shall post it up here for all to see.

  1. I agree with you!.. I think animation is very cross curricular, I like the history subject link too ;)
    It's a good 'team' project for children (and adults!) and everyone can get involved and have a role that involves doing something towards the production, making or editing the animation clip.

    Your idea sounds good too, and definitely something you could do with children in school :)
