Each participant will assemble a 32-page flip book animation

This session helps kids understand how all forms of animation and video are made up of individual images shown in a sequence that makes them appear to move.

The workshop provides hands-on learning about how animation works. Concepts include “key framing,” “frame rates” and how the “persistence of vision” makes still images appear to move to the viewer. In this session each person will construct a simple “thaumatrope,” and a “flip book” that simulates animation. The kids will view examples of animation at different frame rates and see how animators place images together to create animations.
