KS1/2 Art - 2D Animation

Description

This programme takes a look at ways in which animation can be incorporated into the primary curriculum, focusing specifically on the different approaches to 2D animation used by two schools in Bristol:

• Vicky Cleeves at Fair Furlong Primary runs a series of after-school clubs for children keen to learn the art of animation
• Suzie Azare at Bishopsworth Junior School has opted to teach her entire class by organising a concentrated three-day animation project

Both teachers are using 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.

Vicky and Suzie both benefit from a local Creative Partnerships scheme, which enables them to work with and get guidance from filmmaker Kari Nygaard.
