The Art Education students chose well-known stories that would fit the class theme: Tales of Transformation. They developed visual strategies and resources to help focus the collaborative projects. Here are their visual plans which include color palettes, media techniques and inspirational artworks to help create visual unity in each story.
Inspired by a wealth of innovation in the field of animation, each team needed to integrate at least 2 techniques for creating movement in their story.
All the teams used photoshop as one of their animating tools. Other methods included claymation, shadow puppetry, sand animation, paint animation, and stop-motion with found objects.
