Art in Motion: Animation Workshop for Teens

Stop-motion animation and paper puppet workshop led by Indigiqueer multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker Glenn Gear 

This 3-hour workshop will give teens a hands-on look at Glenn Gear’s  artistic practice and his work titled ulitsuak | marée montante | rising tide, the animation currently projected nightly onto the facade of the Museum’s Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion. Gear will begin the workshop with a short introduction on his practice as it relates to Inuit themes, motifs, storytelling, and animation techniques.

Participants will then learn how to create their own paper puppet characters and bring them to life by putting some animation fundamentals to use with smartphone, the Stop Motion Studio app, and a basic animation setup. Key aspects of stop-motion animation will be covered, including frame rate, lighting, timing, movement, and even character development.
