Session 2: Indigenous Storytelling through AnimationIn this session we will explore simple stop animation puppets and animation basics within the lens of Indigenous Storytelling. This is an activity that can be utilized directly within the classroom at all ages.
Materials required: card stock or watercolour paper (file folders work as well) paper fasteners (they have small ones at Micheals and larger ones at Staples) thumb tack or pin scissors paint, markers or pencil crayons Stop Motion Studio is a free app that can be downloaded on a smart phone or ipad About the presenter: Sarah Houle is a Métis multidisciplinary artist and performer originally from the Paddle Prairie Métis Settlement in Northern Alberta and currently based in Mohkinstsis / Calgary, Alberta. Her visual artwork and songwriting stem from personal and autobiographical experiences that are then filtered through her interest in fantasy, technology, and craft. Cultural identify in the age of digital technology is important in her work as elements of physical and digital space come together to conjure nostalgic imagery. Modern day fantastical legends express a social commentary to identity from the perspective of Metis culture and heritage. |
