Lights, Camera, Animate!

Exploring art through motion and film provides new ways to think and create. In this hands-on animation camp, campers will bring their art to life and direct their own short films using works of art from the Carlos Museum to fuel their imagination. Campers will be taught the principles of animation, explore various techniques in creating motion in art, and be guided in the process of developing their own narratives by teaching artist Jillan Gregory. All necessary technology will be provided by the Carlos.
