Drawn Animation Workshop for Kids: Make Your Drawings Move!
Calling all young artists and storytellers! In this fun-filled, hands-on workshop, kids will learn how to turn their drawings into moving animations—just like in their favorite cartoons.
With guidance from friendly and experienced animation artists, kids will discover how to create characters, draw simple storyboards, and bring their ideas to life using classic frame-by-frame animation techniques. Not only will they learn how to animate using pencils and paper—they’ll also get to try painting animation, using colors and brushes to add a whole new dimension to their moving artwork!
🎨 All materials are provided, including drawing supplies, paints, paper, and lightboxes—just bring your creativity!
🥪 Please pack a lunch and water bottle—we’ll take a fun break halfway through the day.
👋 Parents are welcome to drop off and pick up at the end of the session.
By the end of the workshop, each child will have broadened their understanding of the principals of drawn animation and have miniclips to take home. No previous experience needed!
Ideal for kids aged 7–12 who love to draw, paint, and imagine!
All staff are DBS checked.
