I made a decision to become an animator as a child. For this reason, I think it is very important to support children in their interests right from the start, and do not underestimate the decisions they make today. As a teacher, I do my best in helping them to develop their skills in simple storytelling through series of games and playful drawing exercises. I am trying to encourage my students to experiment and to be openminded. In this class I introduce children to various animation techniques and methods like cutout animation, stop motion, chalk animation, claymation, etc. The course also includes fun workshops like making thaumatropes, phenakistoscopes and flipbooks.
