Students in the 7th grade art classes created their own claymation movie shorts. Mrs. Karen McNally,
art teacher, held a screening to share their work.
Claymation is the art of making clay figures move,
talk, sing, dance or do anything else the creator imagines. By taking photographs of the clay figures
in many different poses, and then putting the photos together and playing them in quick succession,
the figures appear to move as if they are real. Appropriate music or other sound effects backing the
film help complete the work. Students began their work on their movies on January 2 and
completed them, which took many hours of patience and critical thinking, on January 24th. Some examples
of claymation are Gumby, Wallace and Gromit, The Chicken Run, The Corpse Bride and The Nightmare
Before Christmas.
