From Creative Writing to the Magic of Animation!<\/h1>\n

Spithes, the creative team, invites children to take part in an innovative educational programme that combines imagination, play, creative writing and technology.<\/p>\n

Through five interactive sessions, children will create their own character and bring it to life through the magic of stop-motion animation and Augmented Reality (AR). An imaginative journey of self-expression, learning and technology for children who love to create!<\/p>\n

Part 1: Creative Writing and Character Creation (3 Sessions)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Session 1:<\/strong> Children discover the power of words and imagination through creative writing games and drama-based activities.<\/p>\n

Session 2:<\/strong> Children develop their initial ideas for their story and character, then create a unique character of their own. Together, we explore the scanned image or drawing submitted by each child.<\/p>\n

Session 3:<\/strong> Children discuss and explore the scanned image or drawing they have submitted. They develop their character\u2019s short story and complete the writing process, discovering essential character-development techniques and storytelling elements.<\/p>\n

Part 2: Stop-Motion Animation and Augmented Reality (2 Sessions)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Session 4:<\/strong> Children take their first steps into the world of stop-motion animation. They create their character using any materials they like, such as modelling clay, drawings, everyday objects or toys. They then bring their character to life, giving it a voice and introducing it to the audience in a short animated film.<\/p>\n

Session 5:<\/strong> Children discover the possibilities of Augmented Reality (AR) filters. Using AR technology, they transform themselves into their characters by digitally wearing a mask they have designed and drawn themselves. They then create short videos in which their characters tell a little story.<\/p>\n
