Stop Motion class

Thinking about materials!! This are some nice stop motion videos demonstrating how "non moving or static objects" that can be found in school like pencils, papers, scissors, clay etc can come to life. This is a great way for you to think about all the different kind of materials you can use when making your movies! Remember! you guys are the directors! pic an choose what materials you want to use and start giving them life!

Plant's life cycle Story Boards



For our 2nd stop motion class students were given a theme, " A Plant's Life Cycle" . We wrote down on the board all the key ingredients that plants need to be able to grow and described the environment that surrounds a plant.  After  brainstorming  the possible ways a plant can grow, the students started making their story boards based on what was discussed and written down on the board.
