In this activity, inspired by the pastel animations of artist Guma Ranks, year 6 from Sheffield Girls’ School created a series of observational drawings of tins to create a stop-motion animation.

Learners explored form, considering how lines can be used to represent convex shapes, and developed their observational drawings into moving image, working between both tactile and digital techniques.

This two-part activity will take 2 hours to complete, with the first session focusing on drawing, followed by a second session dedicated to animating. I recommend trialling the activity before facilitating it, to ensure you fully understand the process and can confidently support learners with each step.

This activity is suitable for learners aged 11 and upwards.

Thank you to the Year 6 class at Sheffield Girls’ School for participating in this workshop.
