The Elephant Workshops
| Animated film is a charming, enchanting, unique, and specific art direction, whose film, art and musical language allows the creator to bring to life his unlimited imagination, and at the same time, offers the viewer some kind of message into reflection and consideration, the feeling of the story…. Animated film is an art, interesting from the aspects of the media, film, and art education, mainly because it is opening the great opportunities for the interdisciplinary integration. And since we are living in the audiovisual culture, it is right to stimulate and encourage its understanding, as well as the development of critical thinking about it, which is the prerequisite for the active and creative participation in today’s society. Therefore, animated film is the integral part of this process. Through discussions and practical work, participants become aware of how animated film is made, which techniques exist, what equipment do they need to create an animated image out of the arts material, and last but not least, the various use of different intertwining skills… We are organizing animated film workshops and learning about the optical toys for children, youth, and other interested public throughout the year, at schools in Slovenia, at various festivals and other events, at colonies and elsewhere. Since 2006, through workshops, we have introduced the art of animated film to over 5000 children. |
