Claymation+Projects

  **Claymation**  **is the generalized term for clay animation a form of stop animation using clay**   []  **The term** **claymation**  **was coined by its creator, Will Vinton, owner of an animation studio that worked with clay artists to create clay animation.**  **Claymation**  **involves using objects or characters sculpted from clay or other moldable material, and then taking a series of still pictures that are replayed in rapid succession to create the illusion of movement.**  []

**We explored clay animation as a technique for digital storytelling. Our class working on developing a theme, putting together an animation plan, creating scenes and clay objects, then animating them using a digital camera.** **We then used these projects as a way to launch our writing projects. We’re not done yet though. We are now working on a few projects animating our favorite chapters from our Author Studies of E.B. White and Beverly Cleary!
