8th graders student gallery of stop motion #animation with Filmstreet's Stop Frame Animator #artsed #edtech #web2.0

8th grade BWMS art students got to go to the great web 2.0 site, Filmstreet from the U.K. 

which had a great tool called Stop Frame Animator

Students already had pre-existing knowledge about stop motion animation, since most of them were fans of the late night Adult Swim show: Robot Chicken

Students got to learn about the basics of stop animation by adding props, music, sound effects and motion to two mannequins. They also learned of the time consuming process of slightly moving their object, taking a picture and then moving it again.

The hard part was sharing their work and turnign the links into videos. SO check out some fo the works of quick simple animation by clicking on a link to their short video clip below

7th grade BWMS art stdents had to pick one  European artist from a selected list. They then had to type up a biography paragraph on Edmodo prior to receiving their IPod.

Afterwards, students had to log into their Edmodo site, where I posted a link of student photos. I took a photo of the students in front of green paper to simulate a green screen effect. Unfortunately, the Photo Puppet Go app doesn't have the "remove green" effect that my IPad app has.

Once students downloaded their picture from Edmodo, they then had to import it as a puppet in the Photo Puppet Go app

The next step, students had to download one piece of art from their artist and then upload it as a  background in the Photo Puppet app

Finally, students combined their puppet and the background into a scene. Within the scene, they would animate their puppet while recording their voice which demonstrated their research on the artist.
