Summer Stock: Object Animation
My son created this video “Elements in Motion” two weeks ago with the members of his object animation video class at the Zimmerli Art Museum summer program for kids. He did the water section with a few other kids (that’s his voice saying “wheeeeee…”). His friend was part of the air group. Some girls we know did the fire section at the end, but my 12-year-old son is still at the stage where girls are ignored.
Robin’s Summer Stock Sunday is a photo meme, but I am again taking liberties with that definition and including this video, as creativity is in important part of our summer. My daughter is in theater camp for three weeks; I hope to do a post about the play (Brave Little Tailor) she was in on Friday soon.
I got on the computer tonight, and I found a note from one of my favorite European bloggers, Jientje, who granted me this:
The rules to this award are :

4)Inform the bloggers that they have been awarded.
5)Take your time, there’s no pressure, but try to check out the other awarded blogs.
I picked three (new to me) blogs:
Congratulations to the awardees, and thanks again, Jientje.

It was only a four day class. So not long, and they had to do it in little groups, too. I like the collaboration part.

That is pretty cool. Isn't it amazing what the kids can do? We were just outside drinking water out of hoses and playing with no adult supervision. ;)

Please tell you son that he did a fantastic job...
Jientje says
That award was well deserved Leora, and you made some very good choices to pass it on to! I knew it meant "golden" or "of gold", but I had no idea it was Portugese. My daughter would have known though!
I mich enjoyed the video, very well made!
Leora says
And here I thought it was an acquisition from one of your Portugal trips!
