The Very Hungry Caterpillar (4-7)

Responding imaginatively to poems is a fantastic inspiration to begin creating art. We will reflect on the evocative poem, 'My Brain' written by Annabel Laurance, (aged 10!) and using this inspiration; do some imaginative sketching and make a storyboard. We will then prepare our animation setup with a cardboard box 'rostrum' and shapes cut out from paper. Using our phones and tablets, we will capture each frame of the animation with the help of the tutors. At the end, we will export our finished videos and invite our adults to join us in watching them on the big screen. Young Artists will also learn more about the 12 Principles of Animation, and use the first principle as a warm up, with the right level of fun, freedom and technical challenge.

Please note: A fully charged smartphone or tablet with the Stop Motion Studio app installed (free for iOS and Android) is required for this class.

Making the Invisible Visible with Animation (5-8)

Celebrate spring, renewal and imagination in this hands-on paper art workshop exploring form, colour and creative construction.

Through folding, cutting, layering and simple structural techniques, students will explore how paper can transform from a flat surface into expressive three-dimensional forms.

Participants will create a central sculptural (origami) paper figure and design a surrounding habitat using collage and relief techniques. The workshop combines structure with creative freedom, encouraging visual thinking, spatial awareness and imaginative storytelling.
