[NEW PROGRAM IN GR] From Creative Writing to the Magic of Animation

For children aged 8–12

The Spithes creative team invites children to take part in an innovative educational program that combines imagination, play, creative writing, and technology. Through five interactive sessions, children create their own hero and bring them to life using the magic of stop motion animation and Augmented Reality (AR).

A fantastic journey of expression, learning, and technology—for children who love to create!

Part A: Creative Writing & Character Creation

(3 Sessions)

Session 1:
Children discover the power of words and imagination through creative writing games and theatrical activities.

Session 2:
They develop the first ideas for their story and hero, creating their own unique character. We explore and discuss the scanned photograph or drawing submitted by the children.

Session 3:
Further analysis and discussion of the scanned photograph or drawing. Children work on their hero’s short story and complete the writing process, exploring basic techniques of character development and storytelling.

Part B: Animation with Stop Motion & Augmented Reality

(2 Sessions)

Session 4:
Children take their first steps into stop motion animation. They create their hero in any way they like (clay, drawing, objects, or toys) and make their character speak and introduce themselves by creating a short animated film.

Session 5:
Children are introduced to Augmented Reality (AR) filters. With the help of AR, they become their own heroes by digitally “wearing” the mask they have designed. They create short videos in which their hero tells a brief story.
