Jamie Wolfe
Drawn Animation

Learn to breathe life into your drawings with animation.This workshop will focus on frame-by-frame animation techniques using traditional tools, such as paper and light tables, and a variety of wet and dry mediums (paint, ink, colored pencil, charcoal, markers, gouache, pastel, etc.). We will give special attention to observation, gesture, and embracing the tangible qualities of physical materials. Students will learn pipelines for turning drawn frames into short videos and gifs using scanners, cameras, and Adobe software. You will leave with a deeper understanding of the principles of movement, three short animated loops, and the ability to continue creating animations at home. No experience with animation, drawing, or photography required. All levels. Photography studio.
