Animation in a primary afterschool club
Description
This programme takes a look at ways in which animation can be incorporated into the primary curriculum, focusing specifically on 2D animation. Vicky Cleeves at Fair Furlong Primary School in Bristol runs a series of after-school clubs for children keen to learn the art of animation. She uses animation as part of a creative cross-curricular approach to delivering art, ICT, literacy and maths. They start by making characters and backgrounds, then film their animations using a video camera, a laptop and specialist animation software. To increase her personal knowledge Vicky attends a local Creative Partnerships scheme, which enables her to work with and get guidance from other teachers and professionals in the area of animation.
