LET’S MAKE AN ANIMATED MOVIE IN 3 HOURS! WE WILL BE USING A DRAWING GAME FOUNDED BY SURREALIST ARTISTS AND WRITERS IN THE 1920’S. EACH ARTIST IN THE GROUP ADDS A SEQUENCE OF ANIMATION BASED ON SEEING THE LAST IMAGE OF THE SEQUENCE CREATED BY THE PREVIOUS ARTIST. THE END RESULT WILL BE A COMPLETE COMPOSITION MADE UP OF MULTIPLE SEQUENCES LINKED BY THE PARTICIPANTS’ COMMON STARTING POINTS! THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR ANYONE CURIOUS ABOUT ANIMATION AND ENJOYS DRAWING. ALL AGES NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED. YOU CAN DO AS MANY OR FEW DRAWINGS AS YOU LIKE. ALL ART SUPPLIES AND ANIMATION PAPER WILL BE PROVIDED. THE 3 HOUR EVENT WILL BE HOSTED BY ANIMATOR DEVIN FLYNN WHO HAS BEEN A PRACTITIONER OF THE ARTFORM FOR 25 YEARS AS WELL AS A PERRENIAL TEACHER AT CAL ARTS AND CSSSA RESPECTIVELY. HIS SENSE OF MOVEMENT AND DESIGN IS HIDDEN BENEATH A LOOSE AND HUMOROUSLY PLAYFUL STYLE THAT IS BOTH APPROACHABLE AND AT TIMES, OVERWHELMING. HIS GOAL IS TO SHARE HIS EXPERIENCE AND HOPEFULLY INSPIRE OTHERS.
