The student will create a short clip using Stop Motion techniques. That movie will be eligible to participate in the Stop Motion Awards 3 ceremony where some judges will choose the best videos. Stop motion (also known as stop frame) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Dolls with movable joints or clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning. Stop motion animation using plasticine is called clay animation or "clay mation" and there are some other techniques.

For your final game, you will be building an educational game. Remember, this game MUST teach concepts, vocabulary, theories or other educational themes. Remember you can work with ERA faculty to create a game that is useful in an instructor's class for a bonus of 25 points. This game must contain 3 student created backgrounds, 3 student created sprites, and must make use of some form of gravity. Remember when using complicated variables that some variable programming (equations, etc) will be very difficult to program, so take that into account when designing.

Students will create a kinetic sculpture using wire, paper, beads and foam and foil paper utilizing design and balance in their composition.

Value Composition in Pencil. The composition demonstrates the students ability to create the Illusion of volume or form using the element of Art: Value and the principle of composition. Composition uses at least 3 objects that overlap; value is added to the contour drawing using one or more of the methods taught in class (tonal, crosshatch, linear, stippling, unique). Composition shows at least 3-4 values of shading and includes the 5 Principles of Shading: highlight, shade, shadow, reflected light and backshading.
