5th Grader's attempt at Animation - soon to be Claymation
We have downtime this week due to finishing the semester early so we are doing skill building in reading and math as well as some fun stuff, like animation for my oldest. We decided to let him play with the software and using his personal digital camera with toys before breaking open the clay. We bought this kit at the books store on sale a few months ago and have been saving it for the right time. He is taking to it quickly. We need a tripod badly, but he's doing well. He created his sounds separately with just a regular audio recording device on windows. I was impressed at his timing with the sound. He is working on the a story board. It's been a neat project. He struggles with creativity, breaking things down and expressing himself due to his Aspbergers/ADHD so this seems to be really good for him! I am excited to see him developing in this way. It's also been a great way to introduce some aspects of photography, art and movement concepts (bodily).
