Kindness Campaign: Moving Memes

9/18/2017

Here is an idea I'm playing with. I would love for students to write a statement about how they can be kind next to themselves looking as sweet as an angel with flapping animated wings and halo or other symbols of kindness.

Learn about kindness in stories

Prepare your kindness statement

Use this worksheet to prepare your kindness statement

How?

1. Students pose angelically before green screen.
2. Import the image into Superimpose App. Use masking tools (magic wand and paint brush) to erase the background. Save using "mask as png" to retain transparency.

3. Using the Do Ink animation app, student can animate the wings and halo using this guide to see some steps for moving the wings.

Students open up a new drawing in Do Ink animation app. They need to make a three frame drawing with the progression above. Then click on the 2nd drawing and copy it (copy and paste are revealed when you click on the double arrows in the bottom right corner). Click on the third drawing and choose "paste". This will put the 2nd drawing after the 3rd drawing to make a 1-2-3-2- progression that loops nicely.

4. Open another drawing in Do Ink animation app and draw a halo. Click + and draw another slightly different. Repeat until you have 3 frames with small changes in each.

5. Now you're ready to put all the pieces together. Open a new composition in Do Ink animation app and begin layering in your pieces. Start from the back to the front: import the wings (use the star button). HINT: DO NOT TOUCH THE GREEN BUTTON ON AN IMAGE YOU IMPORT. Doing so will create an animation path. That is a different effect. Resize by grabbing a handle on the edge, place it where you need it by touching it anywhere else but the green dot, slow down the animation (under the gear tab) to about half the speed. Next bring in the PNG pose from the camera roll (using the camera button). Resize/place. Bring in the halo (using the star) & resize/place/slow down animation. Next, choose the "T" to write your text. Resize/place. Next, pick a background color from the "i" tab at the top. Click the play button to test it out. When you're finished save as a video to your camera roll.

6. Convert the movie to a moving meme in a GIF format by using EZGIF.com
Save the GIF to your camera roll. It can play a GIF in places like Twitter or website.

Brainstorming strategy:

Follow this process to help students in class each come up with an original idea for being kind in a variety of spaces in the building. If this process works, student will learn from each other and each have a unique statement to add to their moving meme.

Teacher's note: We didn't make halos because the wings were more challenging than I expected them to be for my 3rd graders. We all drew the wings in the same direction and then flipped them if we needed to to correspond to their pose.

Running Like Scooby-Doo Would Do

7/12/2017

0 Comments

Run, run run like Scooby-Doo would do. Run as if the house is never ending, full of repeating furniture, and HUH? why so many doors?

When I saw this bumper sticker, I asked myself the same question. Now I know the answer!

Shaggy and Scooby-Do endlessly running

Here is What Scooby Would Do!

Brainpop video about traditional animation

I grew up watching Hanna-Barbera cartoons like Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, and the Jetsons. These silly cartoons were produced over a period of 30 years solidifying a technique called limited animation. See the Brainpop video to learn more.

One trick I've noticed ever since I was a young cartoon viewer happens most noticeably in running scenes. Instead of the character entering and exiting the frame of view, the character remains in the center of the frame while the background moves. This is very effective but sometimes completely silly since the background is looping over and over giving the impression that the space is a never ending and always repeating. I set out today to try to make a character run like Scooby or any Hanna-Babera character would.

Running scene from Yogi Bear

Running scene from The Flintstones

Running scene from Scooby-Doo

In each of these scenes the figures are centered in the frame while the background moves and repeats (not just because you're watching a gif). This in combination with the bodies changing poses in it's sequence, gives the illusion of running fast.

STEP ONE: Running character

My running guide

To make a running animation in Do Ink animation app, I began by drawing the four running poses of my character. I use the guide to help me figure out each arm and legs. I used the ghost frame option to help match my drawing from one pose to the next.

A screenshot from the 4 running poses in drawing mode in Do Ink Animation App

pose 1

pose 2

pose 3

pose 4

STEP TWO: background drawing

My original background drawing made in Brushes Redux app on the iPad

STEP THREE: fixing the background

At drew this background thinking I could make it loop somehow in the app. I wasn't able to figure out how to do that. So I took this image, duplicated it, line them up on edge and cropped awu the door. I wanted to make an image that started and ended the same way from left to right so I could loop it. Does that sound confusing? It was. But, now that I know the solution, maybe it won't be hard to replicate it.

I used the superimpose app to layer the image so it starts on the left the way it ends on the right

STEP FOUR: Creating the animation

The biggest challenge was getting the background image to loop behind the running animation. Now that I fixed the image to match from left to right all I had to do was line it up to start and end with the same looking background.

setting up the running animation and background in the composition mode of Do Ink

Running the way Scooby-Doo would do.

Second try-new idea for background:

I had trouble making my background loop on my first try. I think the problem was that I learned while going through the process that the image needed to repeat perfectly. So, this time I made it easier on myself. I did the whole drawing and duplications in Brushes Redux app. I drew one piece of a background (house) and copied the layer, resized it, and placed it next to the first until I had 4 houses in a row. I put this tiny tutorial together so you can see that the biggest trick next is to get the running figure to start and end over the same exact background image. Then, it loops nicely.

I drew one house and duplicated it all in the Brushes Redux app

Karaoke of Scooby-Doo Theme Song:

Sing along or change the words to what you learned while making a running animation.

Fly like Mighty Mouse Might

This idea works for fling if you make the object remain in the frame as the sky (clouds) whiz by. Here is what it looked like when I gave it a try.

I made a three-framed superhero in a flying pose. No need for moving parts, just flying cape and blowing hair. Then I made one cloud that I would duplicate and resize.

P. S. This animation would be fun to view as a hologram. See my post about it here and view the example below.

Check out my post about how to set up your animated hologram here.

Try using the running poses in Scratch

Scratch is a visual drag and drop coding site by MIT. I had some students who were really excited about coding come and talk to me today. We put together the running animation in SCRATCH using the individual drawings set to code. View the project here. or below.

MAKE IT then MOVE IT: animated GIF

7/7/2017

0 Comments

A long time ago I responded to Ian Sands on twitter asking for digital images of children's art that he could offer to his high school students to play with as they learn to animate. Some of his students selected my students "He Came with the Chair" paintings. The animations turned out SO adorable and inspiring-see example below or check them all out here. It has been one of my goals to figure out an elementary level lesson with a straightforward app that would give my students the experience of animating their own artwork in the same style. I think I might have figured it out. This technique isn't perfect, but, it will work.

If we had Procreate app: like photoshop

The Brushes Redux app (free) allows you to work with layers like photoshop; select and match colors, use different textured brushes, and save each layer individually-all things needed to make these animations. However, the app does not allow you to select parts of the image. That's how the feet were moved in the animation below. The artist selected the feet, rotated them a bit, and redrew the surrounding space to match. This is the element my students would need to work around unless we purchase Procreate app for the classroom which has all the tools we would need. Sounds like I should write a grant.

Original artwork by a Dryden 2nd grader

Animated using Photoshop by HS student

Alternative plan: Brushes Redux (free)

This alternative solution for making animated GIF using Brushes Redux is to redraw each change in the piece of art. You need to choose a piece of art that has colors, textures, and elements that can easily be REDRAWN since you can't select and move. So, let's look at these portraits of George Washington by second graders. They each have clear and solid black marker lines and a clean opaque paint. It would be easy to redraw the eyes, mouth, nose, or even the wig or shoulders. Here is my first run through:

Original drawing #1

redrawn irises and corners of mouth #2

Redrawn irises, mouth, eyebrows rise #3

Eyelids shutting, blush & smile increase #4

Changed blush, eyelids, mouth #5

These are the five drawings I sent to my camera roll after redrawing some changes to eyes, mouth, eyebrows, and skin color. One trick to make your colors match is by holding and pressing down over a color until the "circle of selection ring" shows up. You can drag that ring over any color you want to match from the painting. Lift up and touch down again and you're ready to paint. It's really quick and easy in this app. If I had trouble making the blush effect blend nicely in #4-#5 so I had to switch brush styles to something more transparent to airbrush it in. I didn't choose white or black to draw with, I chose the white-ish/black-ish color in it for consistency.

Screenshot of George Washington Painting in Brushes Redux

After importing your original image into a layer of Brushes Redux, you need to size it and never change it again. Consistency is really key for making the art look like it is moving. I deleted the extra transparent layer and chose the DUPLICATE button (double square +) from the top bar in the layers. I could only see the top layer so the bottom one didn't distract me, but to make sure I didn't draw on the wrong layer, I LOCK the bottom layer when I'm done with it (touch the lock symbol next to the image layer). I can use the eyeball feature to reveal and hide layers to check on how my changes are looking from one layer to the other. I would try to keep this animation simple by not exceeding 5 layers/drawings. It's hard to see all the layers in the app at one time when you get beyond 4. That can confuse your little artists. When you're ready to save your work: 1. close the eyeball on each layer expect your original (bottom layer), choose save to photos. 2. Open the eyeball on second layer and save to photos. 3. Repeat this until finished. This makes the images in the camera roll stay in order.

Screenshot from ezgif.com preparing animation sequence with duplicates

Now students can go to ezgif.com on their iPads and upload their images into the GIF maker. You'll see above that my five images are made into a sequence of 8 so that it will loop nicely. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are the drawings. I copied 4 and placed it after 5 so I could start reversing the sequence, followed by a copy of 3 and 2.
Let's spell this out clearly for little artists:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2 (sequence for 5 images in animation)
1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2 (sequence for 4 images in animation)
1, 2, 3, 2 (sequence for 3 images in animation)

Here is how it looks: (I used the crop tool to trim off white edges)

Quick Video Overview:

Use this video to introduce the project and help students see what the process requires.

MAKE IT then MOVE IT: ANIMATED GIF from Tricia Fuglestad on Vimeo.

Thinking this through: (my notes)

Now that we went through the process, I'm trying to think about the age group that would do this project. I think that we could make this work for almost any age if I helped with file management. Brushes Redux will save their work from week to week in their gallery. So this could be a long term drawing project. When students are ready to save, we could upload their image sequence to a folder I make for them on dropbox. The dropbox app gives you the chance to rename a group of files. It becomes their name followed by the number. At this point, the files are safe and ready for uploading to the GIF maker in Ezgif.com. This could be done the following week. I could have them download the images into the camera roll in correct sequence with duplicates included as spelled out above.

Turn in art in order with help of Dropbox

screenshot of Wild Thing- layers in Brushes Redux

Another approach I might go with is to add structure the process since everything about it would be new to young learners. We could all work from the same gallery of images so we can tackle similar problems together. If we worked on, for example, these Wild Things from 1st grade, I could demonstrate how I would animate the eyes, mouth, and the horns. They might make other creative choices, but the problem-solving I demonstrate would transfer easily to their creative solutions.

4 drawings in this sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2 so it loops nicely

Examples:

The fifth graders' 3/4 pose portrait paintings are perfect for this animation lesson by making subtle changes in the expression. It forces the artist to think about what faces do to express emotion and map out a sequence of drawings to create this expression. This is a different form of expressionism (HA! Art teacher humor).

The fifth grade Light Up Robot painting is fun to animate with moving and blinking.

This 5th grade robot painting didn't have very much detail for me to animate. But, through the magic of digital drawing, I was able to add blinking lights, a moving lever, and a rotating gauge as I animated (see middle robot below).
Going through these steps made me wonder if knowing you are going to animate your robot digitally as an extension to the project would change the way you create it initially.

Added elements as I animated the robot

These first grade Lima Bean Monsters are perfect for this idea with their big features.

Rotoscope in a Retro Mutoscope

5/16/2017

1 Comment

I'm super excited to have found the Flipbookit in my Twitter feed a month or so ago. The discovery came at a time where I was thinking about how to display our class animations as I was preparing for rotoscope animations lesson with my 5th graders. What a perfect solution. The flipbookit is a DIY kit that creates a retro styled mutoscope, an early motion picture hand cracked flipbook device. This box has a crank that spins a rolodex of cards that you can customize through their online tool printed on labels. It took me 1 hour to put the box together and 1/2 hr to print, stick, and load the art. They are too expensive to have each student make their own, but because of their design, they make for a really simple all class rotoscope collaborative project. I'll try to explain.

Collaborative Rotoscope

The Flipbookit animation is only 24 frames long. That is a pretty short video.
It would be best if the video loops too since the crank allows you to view it over and over again. So, I asked one 5th grader from each of the 4 classes to volunteer to be filmed performing a short dance move that would easily loop. Here they are below.

Rotoscope in a Mutoscope from Tricia Fuglestad on Vimeo.

1. Film a short looping video

I filmed them before green screen and used the Green Screen app by Do Ink to clean up the background so my animators would be undistracted by the background and better able to focus on the dancers when they draw their rotoscope.

2. Prepare the 24 frames of video

The Flipbookit website has an online maker tool that helps you prepare for a rotoscope animation. After you upload the looping video to their site, you can chose the portion you want to use, see a preview, and download the 24 frames of the video. These frames are what your students will draw over to make the rotoscope. If you have 24 students, then they each need to draw only one frame of the animation. We were able to do this in one 45 minute class period while learning the app, tools, and concept.

3. Preparing the tools to draw

Since the class is going to make one collaborative animation, we need each of the 24 frames of the video to look similar. The size of the image, color of the pen, thickness of the pen, and style of the drawing need to be similar enough that the illusion of movement is created. I set some parameters ahead of time when I created my example. Here is the handout to set up the drawing in the Brushes Redux app.

The Brushes Redux App allows you to choose a custom size canvas. You need 800 x 667. Do not resize the photo when you import it. It will be exactly 800 x 667 and needs to stay as inserted to match the other drawings.

We used a solid opaque black line size 4

The photo layer is semi transparent so we could see our black lines & we drew on the layer above. We make the photo layer disappear (close the eye icon) then save our drawing to the camera roll

Students each had an iPad, stylus, handout, and a chance to view a physical flipbook

4. Turn in and rename digital files

I shared out the flipbookit images through my dropbox. Each student was assigned a number and drew their piece of the animation based on this image. When they were done, they turned back their art into a new folder with the number and their name on the file. It automatically organized by number. I was ready to upload it to the flipbookit maker tool.

----VIEW STUDENT IMAGES HERE----

4.5 (optional) Made an animated gif

I wanted to see how the 24 drawings would look as a digital animation so I loaded them into https://ezgif.com/maker to make an animated gif from the images.

5. Print and load the flipbookit

PDF generated from the 24 frame animation made by students ready to print.

I followed the online directions for converting the 24 drawings into a pdf that would be printed onto the special sized labels that came with the DIY Flipbookit. I stuck them on the blank cards and loaded them into the rolodex to see the magic of Mutoscope animation from our collaborative rotoscope animation.

Every Night I Dream Of Dancing by Andrew Huang is a music video collaboration of thousands of drawings from 30 different artists. The song is fun and the artwork is very inspiring. It has much more color and creativity than this project, but now that we've learned the process, perhaps next time we can take it further.

Extension: Build a Mutoscope Viewer

A package arrived the other day in a very cool box. I was heading out to recycle it when it occurred to me that the flip top that opens to a windowed interior may make a cool viewer for my Flipbook (mutoscope). I'm not done painting the inside or customizing my own animation yet, but I thought I'd share what I started here.

Alien Music Invasion

11/23/2016

0 Comments

Aliens are a truly magical subject for artmaking. They allow the student artist to be creative in it's design by breaking rules of figure drawing, color, and form while also providing the necessary benefit of forgiveness since an alien doesn't have to be drawn realistically. Here are two ideas that extend an alien drawing digitally incorporating music and animation: Idea one: aliens on instruments & Idea two: alien beatboxing.

Idea one: Aliens on Instruments

Lenny and the Leonids with Two-toed Tapping Tommy and Marsha on the Martian Maracas

Lenny, the lead guitarist. Click to enlarge.

I began designing an animation challenge for my students after a large dose of inspiration from the animator, musician, and illustrator, Andy Martin. This project would include aliens, repetitive movement, and instruments. If kids can manage this project we'll finally be able to get the band back together! Seriously, students could each contribute a creature to a group animation movie set to music that demonstrates an understanding of flipbook animation, movement, sound, and creative figure drawing.

I drew the alien with 3 layers. Click to enlarge.

To animate an alien playing an instrument I created layers that helped isolate the moving and non-moving parts using the Do Ink Animation and Drawing app.
1. I drew the alien head, body, and legs.
(hint: lock the layer when finished so you don't accidentally change or erase it when animating)
2. I drew the alien's instrument then locked it.
3. I drew the arms that played the instrument, copied the slide, erased, and redrew to show movement.

Performance: Lenny and the Leonids

Listen to my favorite alien band's first hit below composed in garageband, animation in DoInk, and edited in iMovie.

Idea Two: Alien Beatboxing

I designed four more aliens in an attempt to try beatboxing. This idea requires that each alien moves its mouth in some way to match the sound it creates.

I used the DoInk drawing and animation app again to make my alien designs move their "mouths" to express their sound. I kept it very simple so that I could generalize the concept later when I layered the music in. Below is a test run of each flipbook design in composition mode. I had to adjust each alien's flipbook motions so they weren't moving their mouths too fast. Later I learn that this was pretty important for matching the mouth with the sound later. But, this was my first time, so I tried to time it better in the movie editing stage.

Next, I pulled out my laptop version of Garageband and tried to make a sound for each creature while keeping a steady beat. I had lots of trouble blending my sounds, getting the timing right, and figuring out effects. What I ended up doing was putting on headphones, laying down a drum beat as one track (which I later deleted), and matching the beat with my new sound recorded to another track. That helped me keep the beat better. I labeled each track by creature color to help me keep track of what's what when I did my final animation. I tried to match the DoInk composition timeline to the garageband timeline as exactly as I could. Luckily both interfaces allow you to look at fractions of seconds so you can bring in the creature at the same time the audio begins.

Below is each alien animation timed with their beatbox sound. Next, to put it all together into one composition using the DoInk animation, garageband sound track, and iMovie.

Performance: Alien Beatboxing

Below is the Dance my 7 alien friends choregraphed quickly. I was able to capture it using Keynote and iMovie with the song they chose from incompetech.com.

Resources: Video and handouts

Andy Martin and his planet animations are the inspiration for animation challenge. There are twelve planets to explore with different creatures on each. Planet one's aliens make music with their voices as they gather. This idea would be fun to explore as well.

Bonus! Alien Remake of a Fugleflick

I used a guitar playing alien and two of his duplicates to recreate a old fugleflick appropriately called, Deep Space. This fugleflick attempts to explain how to create the illusion of space in a 2D place with foreground, middle ground, background, and overlapping. The song was performed by three 3rd graders many years ago. View their movie here. You'll probably notice the moving lips in this video. I recorded my mouth moving to the words and masked them into the video using the Do Ink Green Screen app. The whole movie was created using both the Do Ink animation app and the Green Screen app. I lined it up with the music from the original song using iMovie. View the results here.

Want to try this easy way to create an animated gif with your students using only free apps?

This carrot guy animation is based on my Lima Bean Monster lesson I wrote about back in this post.

Download theDOINK version of this lesson here.

I drew him using SketchbookX and duplicated the image to erase and change a few features. These two images were then added to the 5 Seconds app to create a two-frame looping animated gif that you can showcase on your webpage or in your presentations (using powerpoint or keynote).

Super iPad Workshop in Portage, IN

9/1/2013

1 Comment

I met an amazing team of art teachers on Saturday in Portage, Indiana. They gave up a day of their holiday weekend to work on some teaching ideas and strategies for incorporating their class set of iPads into their art programs. Learn more about their iPad initiative during their NAEA conference presentation this Spring.

We practiced a wide range of techniques and art lessons that were open ended enough that teachers could modify them into the format that best supports the learning objectives needed in their curriculum. This collage to the right is from a Pass the Portrait game/activity where students use my portrait template to begin drawing the features of the face in a layer over it. Then they pass their iPad to the next person who then continues the drawing. This can be modified in many ways. Perhaps each student is given a style of art or portraits made from different artists to reference for their contribution to each portrait that is passed their way. This lesson demonstrates how to share a template, draw in layers, and create a collaborative piece, use sketchbook express, and turn in the artwork via email.

We experimented with the iMotionHD app to create this silly stop-motion animation. Our inspiration for this video came from OK Go's primary color video for Sesame Street. I created a safeshare link here. I turned it into this gif using the 5seconds app.

We also tried our hand at rotoscope animation. We each created one frame in this tiny animation of 13 frames. I shared out the images from my dropbox. Each teacher pulled it into SketchbookX and drew a contour line drawing. Then emailed the results with the image number as the subject. I combined the images quickly using Gifninja. See it here.

We played around with the Artstudio app's magic wand to create a transparent png to layer with my Newsweek template and text. This lesson can be used across the curriculum. See all my template, handout, examples, and Newsweek resources here.

We used Sketchbook X to create a photo collage where students would begin with their own "selfie" and layer on their classmates' features digitally. I saw this idea first from art teacher, Ms. Oliveri. Here is her post.

We also explored the many possibilities of DOINK including my transparency lesson (see Really Spooky Landscapes) and my perspective lesson (see Godzilla's perspective.
I wrote a grant to receive an all-school purchase of the DOINK iPad app and a class set of styluses. View my grant here. We only spent a few seconds trying out the Crown fountain interactive public art lesson with color lake effect. So much to explore and not enough time. I guess one day wasn't enough:)
