November Writing!

Eat this Essay
Grades 5-8
Mondays, 3-5pm
November 2, 9, 16 and 30

Mint snowballs, sweet plums, and fifty-cent hot dogs.
These three foods inspired three famous poets and
writers to delve into their imaginations to recall stories
of their families, their loves, and their childhoods and
transform them into beautiful pieces of writing. What
are your favorite foods? What person or memory is tied
most strongly to those foods? While answering those
questions, we’ll eat a little, read a little, and write a lot.
Everyone will leave with their own food memoir, and
the final session will be a group reading and feast!

Stop Time Animation
Grades 4-8
Wednesdays, 3:30-5:50
November 18, December 2, 9, and 16

Have you ever wished that your stuffed animals came to
life? Have you imagined the stories they'd tell you? Come
learn the magic of stop-motion animation - a digital video
technique that brings inanimate objects to life! In this playful
class we'll create characters using paper, clay, and other
materials, and then set them in motion using digital SLR
cameras. Together we will create a series of animations in
class, and learn the skills necessary to make your own
animations at home. Students are encouraged to bring story
ideas and their favorite art supplies.
