7th GRADE ANIMATION METAMORPHOSIS PROJECT

1000 drawings, 40 students, and 4 months.  The 7th grade spent a good 4 months of art classes finding their spirit animals and then turning other animals into an animation project. We start by finding our spirit animal. Telling stories and thinking about what animal appears to us during random times, or at the end of the story that I tell them. They are given another students animal randomly and then the drawings begin. They slowly try to change the animal into the shape of their animal in 18 to 30 drawings. They collaborate with each other, they help color and pen other students.









 We watched BLU street animations to inspire us....
