We will teach you how to teach animation easily
and without technical chaos.
Practical workshop How to Teach Animation focused on using OPAK studio educational tools when teaching animation.
The workshop will give you everything you need to start animating with your children, guide them to the finished result, and at the same time avoid technical and organizational chaos.
For whom?
The workshop is intended for teachers, lecturers and employees of cultural and educational institutions.
It is particularly suitable for:
→ primary and secondary schools
→ elementary art schools
→ galleries and museums
→ art and animation clubs
→ other institutions that want to include animation in their program
The workshop is suitable for beginners as well as those who already teach animation or use it in exhibitions and educational programs. We will adapt the content to your experience, the number and age of children, and the technical equipment you already use.
How can you use animation in teaching?
Animation can be incorporated into short creative assignments, long-term project-based learning, and self-service walk-throughs. It naturally connects visual creation, storytelling, working with images, sound, technologies, and group collaboration.
Experienced lecturers with experience in animation and working with children will show you how to involve children in creation and how to develop audiovisual, digital and other key competencies through animation in a practical and experiential way.
What will you learn at the workshop?
First, you will learn how to operate our animation stations and then you will get proven tips on how to start, lead and successfully complete animation with children.
We will show you examples of short animation tasks and implementations of six-month project teaching.
Together we will go through specific options for using animation to meet the goals of the new RVP in the area of Art and Film Education.
You will learn how to prepare self-service stations for your own event or exhibition.
You will practically try out various animation techniques and work with film sound. We will recommend proven teaching options according to your capabilities, the number of children and their age.
Why work with our equipment?
The OPAK system is a complete solution for stop-motion animation that connects animation stations, lights, camera technology and our easy-to-use software. This means that the teacher does not have to build a makeshift workstation or deal with complex technical settings, and can focus on the children, the teaching and the creation itself.
→ stable working environment with suitable conditions for animation
→ simple operation – just turn it on and start creating
→ no complicated equipment setup or station building
→ more time for pedagogical work and educational goals
→ high-quality and consistent output without flickering
→ the animation can be easily projected, shared and reflected on together
→ finished films can serve as a project output and also as a presentation of the institution
