Stop-Motion Animation Workshop (KS1-KS2)


Workshop Provider: Hyett Education

Workshop Themes & Tags: Cross-Curricular Computing, Art, Photography, Digital Art

Age Suitability: Key Stage 1, Key Stage 2

Delivery Locations: England & Wales

Workshop Summary:

Animating is a wonderful way to tell creative and fun stories in the classroom, and there are many different styles that can be used to engage learners in their current topics. Our stop-motion animation workshops do just that.

Using a range of digital devices (including internet services), students will learn how to create their own story and turn it into their very own animated works (linked to their given topic). Longer session times even allow for the students to create storyboard ebooks to plan their animation stories, shots and techniques. Students will all be taught using age appropriate animation software. 

A rewarding experience, students will love using technology to be creative. 

All our workshops are run by experienced instructors, and we can tailor sessions to include all children, including those with SEN,  so that the children can access all activities. When you make any additional needs of your group known, our team can explain how they can encourage, support, and motivate each and every child
