Stop Motion Unit

Creative Arts and Summer Adventure Camp

As a camp counselor designing a curriculum for a clay and sculpture class, I created a stop motion unit with my campers (ages 6-10). We watched stop motion TV shows and movies like Wallace and Gromit and The Missing Link, and learned about how the stop motion process works. They then designed their own characters, making wire armatures covered in clay, which they used to create their own short films on iPads with the app Stop Motion Studio.
