Come learn the basics of stop-motion animation in this simple workshop aimed at kids 12 and under, and making a trailer for our theaters. Students should expect to be hands-on animating at one of several stations, using their hands, minds, and creativity to move objects around in space and time.

ABOUT THE LITTLE ANIMATION STUDIO

TLAS was founded by Laura Bellmont; an illustrator and NYC DOE certified educator who has been teaching in the NYC Metro area for over fifteen years.

Laura received her masters degree in Arts Education from Pratt Institute and graduated with honors. She has created an original method of teaching that is rooted in her consideration of each student as a unique learner. Laura regards her teaching practice as a living art form.

With each new program, Laura and a small team of highly skilled educators, animators, artists and art therapists, work together to create a new approach to teaching by using stop motion animation filmmaking as their vehicle to impart more complex skill sets and concepts.
