Exploring Sculpting and Animation with Open World by DigiPen
July 15 - July 19
9 am – 4 pm
Ages 6-8
For young learners, expressing themselves through art can be a crucial stage in their development, and the artwork they create at this age often become cherished keepsakes. While they may have plenty of time to practice and improve their craft, it’s never too early to pick up some of the tried-and-true principles of animation and sculpting.
Join DigiPen Open World educators for this introductory workshop at the Bellevue Arts Museum, providing young learners with techniques that will help them bring what they see in their mind into the real world. Instructors will guide campers through the basics of drawing, painting, and sculpting, and help them to then transform their artistic creations into an animated work, using stop-motion and traditional 2D animation.
By the end of the workshop, students will be able to apply their new understanding of design fundamentals to bring all of their future artwork to life.
