Monster Progression Animation

5/22/2019

Third graders are doing a collaborative creativity challenge to use stop-motion animation to make a monster appear to rise from and sink into the table. This is adapted from the wonderfully creative artist, Andy Martin. We watched his Plasticine Rhythm movie and workshop for ideas.

The Plan: designing the four stages

Students worked in groups to design one monster in 4 stages of rising or shrinking from the table. They only had yellow, blue, and green to work with and googly eyes.

Building: with clay & googly eyes

My 3rd graders are so excited about our #ProgressionAnimation monster #stopmotion #animation movies. Today we built our monster in 4 stages of either rising from or sinking into the table
