wehearyou.net uses animation, and careful listening to children’s ideas, to get students working and learning together. The workshop serves New York City public school children who take to it like ducklings to water.
Kids get to draw, sing, invent, sculpt, improvise, drum, plan, produce and refine their ideas. They are supported by helpful adults. They master all technical aspects of stop-motion animation: lighting, framing, photography, staging, sound recording and editing. The group organically organizes into small teams that solve problems as they arise.
Working in a creative beehive run by their own imaginations, they think they are playing. And, of course, they’re doing that, too.
