Digital Creative Homeschool Program
Animated Filmmaking for Tweens (Ages 8 – 12)
Tuesdays Feb 11 - April 8 ( 11am – 1pm )
Over a 9-week term students will learn the art of flip-book animation, narrative storytelling, and digital drawing to produce a collaborative animation work. The themes of the animation and storytelling will be inspired by a field trip to our local botanical gardens to learn from an ecologist about fragile ecosystems. Students will be instructed on field photography, and back in the studio will learn how to use animation app Procreate Dreams as well as Adobe Fresco. Also covered will be audio recording and editing.
The Digital Creative Homeschool Program is an innovative, creative technology driven learning environment for school aged students. Weekly workshops are facilitator led, nature inspired and focused on building skills in creative industries, STEM, digital literacy, and career readiness. The Digital Studio at Yarrila Place has resources and the nurturing environment for children to explore and engage their passions.
Inspired by nature, informed by science
Our programs team is made up of teachers, ecologists, practising artists and creative industry professionals working in close collaboration to bring innovative workshops and programs to the Coffs community.
The Digital Studio collaborates with local organisations such as the North Coast Botanical Gardens and Marine Science Centre and we value the importance of nature connection in our screen dominated world, particularly for the well-being of young people. Our programs are inspired by nature and informed by science, where young people can learn about nature and ecology and how to communicate their experiences and knowledge creatively using digital media technologies.
