Advanced Mentored Studies: Visual Storytelling and Documentary Photography Projects
Aug 16 - 20, 2027
Discover the Workshop
Dive into the art of storytelling through animation! We kick off the week with Wick Editor, where students create hand-drawn, frame-by-frame animations. Next, the fun continues as we explore stop-motion animation, crafting sets from recycled materials and bringing clay characters to life. As the movies take shape, students learn to use iMovie, adding sound effects and special touches to make their films shine. We wrap up the week with an awesome film festival, where parents are invited to a showcase of their children’s animated creations!
