The hard yards are done! The students in the Animation Creative Art Session have spent the last few weeks not just creating fantastic animations based on the Global Citizens theme, but also mastering the art of presentation.
Alongside foundational exercises like the Spinning Earth and character walks, they also animated various flags, tying into the theme of global connection. Best of all, they’ve been developing their own creative ideas into finished pieces. They are currently pulling all their projects into one seamless, polished Showcase Movie using Canva’s video editing features. Make sure you come check out their brilliant films at the upcoming Expo!
