ANIMATION WORKSHOP FOR AGES 14-17 WITH GARTH LAIDLAW
August 23-27
ANIMATION WORKSHOP:
Over five three-hour sessions, students will explore basic character design concepts, such as how to draw characters from different points of view. They will explore how to create a simple walk cycle animation on paper and learn about character facial expression change. Students will learn how to use the fundamental principles of animation – the squash and stretch, in a facial expression to get a cool cartoony expression change of a character’s face. And more…!
GARTH LAIDLAW is a multi-disciplinary artist located in Granville Ferry, Nova Scotia, Canada. He illustrates children’s books, board games, comics, and also animates videos for a variety of clients.
