Hands-On Animation

(for Ages 10-15) at Gaithersburg Library

Explore the history, science and creative possibilities of animation as you create three optical toys: a thaumatrope, a zoetrope strip and a flip-book.

Through the creation of three 19th-century optical toys—thaumatropes, zoetrope strips and flip-books—students will learn about the history, science and creative possibilities of two-dimensional animation. Art supplies will be provided to be used during the workshop.

Registration required. Space is limited.

This workshop is in partnership with artist Leila Cabib and funded in part by an Arts an Education Grant from the Maryland State Arts Council.

Age Requirement: 10 to 15 years.
