Dizzy Tins

By Tobi Meuwissen

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.

What We Like About This Resource…

“I really like how this playful resource helps us to make a creative response inspired by a stimulus, ensuring that the stimulus is only an entry point into an outcome that will look totally different. Exploring the themes of colour, texture and composition through the lens of different artists also helps us see how we can interpret (and re-interpret) colours and materials in a meaningful way. Viewfinders and collage are also great tools for those who experience ‘fear of the white page’ and will allow learners to make conscious creative decisions as they go.” – Tobi, AccessArt
