WORKSHOP | Collage Animation for Kids with Rebecca Lewis - 10:30am

WORKSHOP | Collage Animation for Kids with Rebecca Lewis

Imagine creating your own animated collage using nothing but paper cut outs and an app!

Artist Rebecca Lewis will help you create stop motion animations using a mixture of vintage photographs and old picture storybooks. Rebecca will help you create a character, imagine and make a story.

Rebecca will provide a selection of images, collage elements and backdrops and a mini stop motion studio to experiment with during the workshop. If you like you can also use images you've brought with you.

This is a fun holiday activity - once you've learnt how to do stop motion animation you can keep making at home!

The workshop will provide:

• all materials including collage elements and backdrops
• mini scissors
• mini stop motion studios (1 for each participant)
• light refreshments

What to bring:

• A smart phone or tablet
• You may like to pre-install the FREE version of Stop Motion Studio (available on apple and android)
• Please bring along your own pictures that you might like to add to your scene (please note you may have to cut them out so bring a photo copy if it’s a treasured item)
• Please wear closed shoes

About Rebecca Lewis:

Rebecca is self-taught textile artist, seamstress and printmaker living and working in Ipswich, Queensland. A degree in Environmental Management, along with a personal philosophy grounded in sustainability, informs the direction of Rebecca’s arts practice. She works predominantly with vintage fabrics, discarded craft supplies and found objects to create one-off or short-run garments, accessories and homewares.

Rebecca's first exhibition in Ipswich featured lino prints of local houses, she experimented with using these prints in unusual ways. This exploration is what led to the creation of her first outdoor collages and stop motion animation. In 2018 Rebecca won the Queensland Regional Art Awards – Digital Art prize for a stop motion film.

Rebecca says, 'I love teaching not only because it’s an opportunity to share the things I love but for the thrill of watching others experience that little ‘a hah’ moment when they start to realize their own creative potential.'
