Circus Puppet Story at Magic Carpet
Beautiful puppets and scenes by the guys in Wednesday’s group
Beacon Centre Easter Animations!
The lids had so much fun at The Beacon in Exeter last Thursday – here’s your film, guys, I hope you enjoy it!
Interactive Digital Media at Magic Carpet
An art-technology mashup!
First, the guys drew a jungle-forest backgound, and then, separately, created some fierce animal characters which we cut out and animated against a green screen.
Then, through the magic of digital media, we overlayed the animation on the background, and projected the whole thing onto a screen and, as you can see,! had a lot of fun interacting with our scary creations!
The animation we made:
Plus some pics of an interactive shadow puppet and projection workshop I ran with the same group at the end of 2018, but didn’t get time to post.. The guys made drawings of scenes from the Nativity story and black card shadow puppet characters, then I projected their drawings and they reenacted the story with their puppets on the big screen. We also made animal hats so participants could interact with the screen as a shadow puppet themselves. This was all done in a day – interactive digital media can make for very magical experiences for people.
Creative Club
I can’t believe we’re past half term already! The first four Creative Club sessions produced some lovely work in January and February, from moody charcoal scenes to eggbox puppets! Take a look 🙂
Black and White Workshop – Magic Carpet Honiton
Today we explored “black and white” (and a bit of colour!). Everyone got into the idea, from black and white animals to old silent movie stars, and made some beautiful large-scale charcoal and chalk drawings. In the afternoon we had a look at op-art and made some zebras on zebra crossings (which made our eyes go funny …)
Workshop Photos 2017-18
Lots of lovely pictures from the last year-eighteen months or so 🙂 Thanks everyone!
Bishopsteignton Comics Club end of term pdf
So to kick off 2019 here’s the pdf from last term’s Comics Club at Bishopsteignton Primary (see below).
It’s the last for a while, as Comics Club will now morph into Creative Club, which will feature a wider range of creative activities including puppets, drawing and illustration, cameraless photography, kites, and clay modelmaking 🙂
