Students stop for no one As cinematic technology continues to expand at rapid rates, Year 8 Art students are going back to where it all began with a study on stop motion animation. Stop motion animation is a frame-by-frame filming technique used to make static objects appear to move. The process involves photographing increments of movement as separate frames that are then played in sequence to create a sense of movement. Year 8 art teacher Kasia Janczewski said the students were enjoying learning about the technique, well known for ‘claymation’ productions like the Wallace & Gromit series, and were using it to expand on ideas from previous projects. “After creating a series of surreal monoprints that explore and express the subjectivity of memory, the Year 8 Art students are now in the process of transforming and reinterpreting the special moments and feelings captured in these artworks through digital media.” “The girls are currently acting as collaborating artists, sharing their personal and artistic perspectives by collaging their monoprints together and making them move in stop-motion animations that bring these past experiences back to life in a new way.” To view some of the creations produced by the Year 8 Art students, use a QR Reader to scan the barcode.
