Students will find examples of stop motion animation to watch, find out how it is made, research some of the history and finish the project by creating an anmiated short of their own.

Introduction

Watch the example below of a short clay animated film.

This film was created by middle school students in a visual arts class like yours.  With a little research, planning, and creativity you will be able to create your own clay animation.  Your goal will be to create a film that teaches a lesson from one of your academic subjects.  You want your teachers  to be able to show this film to their future classes to make learning more fun and interesting.  So imagine you are a teacher and let's begin!
