Soft Clay Experiments, part 2: Elementary Kids' Work

Here are some short exercises done by elementary school-aged children. They worked in groups, and their theme was "shapes".

Soft Clay Experiments, Inspired by Art Clokey's Gumby

After watching classic animations featuring clay characters "Gumby" and "Pokey," the young animators were given 40 minutes to experiment with a bit of soft play-doh, and some felt. They even shot each frame entirely on their own!

Below are the results... part one of two. (Look for part two next week!)

Welcome to a new year, and a new club!

The Weekend Animation Club is younger and smaller this time around, but no less creative!

Enjoy our first exercise: wiggly squid and sliding sofa, set to The Troublemakers' tune, "The Maharishi Effect".

Fun with a Whiteboard
