boxes will express their individuality and will give them an opportunity to explore
a wide array of materials and design issues. Students are encouraged to keep a
journal throughout the project as a means for documenting the development of

New Animations

This project introduces children to historical and contemporary methods of animation
development and processing. Merging history with the present, hand drawn imagery is
coupled with digital processing as students learn to investigate everyday objects,
drawing from real-life and imagined experience, breaking down the beginning and end
to explore the in-between. Using a matrix of small squares, an image is broken down
and drawn in various stages and then processed into digital format. Similar to the flip
book lesson plan, this project introduces the illusion of movement and how it is
explored and developed in digital form.
