LUX Art Institute - Virtual Summer Art Camp 2020

Week 6 : July 27th - July 30th

Title :  Adventures on Plastic: Animating with Cels

Teacher : Isabelle Aspin 

Ages : 12 - 15

Price for Camp :  Members - $200.00, Non-members - $220.00

Description :  In this session campers will experiment with animating and collaging on cels. Cels are sheets of transparent plastic that enable animators to layer drawings over backgrounds, creating complete images without computers. While cels techniques have been replaced by computers in the last 20 years, drawing and painting on cels connects us to the cartoons of the past, plus it’s fun, relaxing, and leaves you with a very cool object to show off! In this 4 day class we’ll be covering animation basics, rotoscoping and some neat transparent collaging techniques. We’ll also be watching some great animated classics that use cels to their fullest, spectacular potential.
