Animating in Motion (“It’s ALIVE!”) with Margaret Barry

Animation is all about bringing things to life through movement! Break out of the sedentary routine and join us for a dynamic, expressive workshop where your own body’s language becomes the first sketch. No prior drawing or animation experience is required—just bring your energy, comfortable clothes, and a desire to create.

We’ll move our bodies—swinging arms, rotating ankles, and noticing the unique paths made by our limbs, breath, and eyes—to map out a physical sequence with a distinct start, middle, and end. Next, we’ll translate muscle memory onto paper, repeatedly drawing our movements to capture the frames and the spaces “in between” until we achieve twelve fluid sketches on a custom grid sheet.

To wrap up, you’ll learn how to scan or photograph your final page to compile it digitally into a looping GIF or movie, leaving the workshop with a finished piece of moving artwork
