PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP SAMPLE
HANDS ON LAB: ANIMATION+MEDIA ARTS FOR EDUCATORS/YOUTH WORKERS
1-4p Monday-Thursday, 9a-11a Individual Classroom visits (14 hrs total contact time)
This opportunity will give teachers skills to engage students in the high-interest genre of animation and media arts. This professional development is designed to support teachers and youth workers wanting to bring animation and media arts into their curriculum. It includes training on equipment, software or apps, as well as playful pedagogical practices in service of their students’ individual creativity.
During the week, professionals will engage in hands-on activities incorporating play, history, science, art, creative expression, as well as animation principles and techniques. Additionally, these programs focus on animation practices that are not just high tech, industry level but also no-tech, low/no-cost, and accessible to anyone. Additionally, we advocate and facilitate learning through play-based and inclusive creative spaces for all citizens.
Our main goal is to offer time, space, permission, and resources to collaborate, practice various strategies of media arts and animation and skill share with peers.
Content will flex depending on the needs of the group including special lectures, resource sharing, techniques, discovery, and more. We hope you will join us on this journey to further support those bringing creativity to others through media arts, animation, play, etc.!
