23 Stop Animation
MULTIMEDIA
1. Students will demonstrate the principles of timing, arcs, and follow-through by designing a
multi-page flipbook. Students will animate a clay ball to demonstrate their understanding of
the principles of squash and stretch. Students will (Optional, requires cell phone) explore the
mechanics of stop animation by creating a simple animation project using the Lego Movie
Maker app.
2. Students will practice typographic principles by designing a small print ad and use technology
resources to facilitate problem solving, critical thinking, decision making, and creativity in
storyboarding. They will complete the pre-production process by preparing the concept,
storyboard, set, production schedule, and pitch for a one-minute stop motion project.
3. Apply the elements of art and principles of design to the production of two- and three-dimensional
artwork and use technology resources to facilitate problem solving, critical thinking,
decision making, and creativity in storyboarding. They will create a stop motion animation
video of approximately one-minute in length.
