Explore the dynamic world of animation and learn how to bring your imagination to life! Animation Fundamentals introduces young creators to hands-on animation techniques across multiple styles, including computer-drawn animation, hand-drawn animation, and stop-motion using everyday objects and clay sculptures.

Stop-motion fans will especially love this course: Dive into the techniques used by legendary creators such as Aardman Animations (Wallace & Gromit), Henry Selick (Coraline, Paranorman), and Wes Anderson (Fantastic Mr. Fox, Isle of Dogs). Campers experiment with found materials, clay, puppets, and objects to craft imaginative sequences frame by frame.

Participants also explore a variety of free online tools that make animation more accessible than ever. Whether you’re sketching simple loops, creating animated GIFs, or designing complex digital sequences, this program gives you the skills and confidence to produce original animations that are uniquely yours.

All experience levels are welcome—no prior animation knowledge required.
