Bashkohuni me ne për një punëtori kreative pesëditore ku animacioni, fotografia dhe imagjinata bashkohen.🧜‍♀️

Pjesëmarrësit do të eksplorojnë hapësirën e festivalit përmes fotografisë dhe videos, duke kapur kënde interesante, tekstura, objekte dhe detaje të fshehura. Këto imazhe më pas do të bëhen baza për animacion stop-motion.

Duke përdorur plastelinë, prerje letre, vizatime, kolazh, ngjyra dhe një larmi materialesh kreative, pjesëmarrësit do t’i transformojnë fotografitë e tyre duke shtuar personazhe, krijesa dhe elemente në lëvizje. 📽️🎨

Grupmoshat: 10-15 vjeç
