Flip Books

Flip Books

Here in the Greer Art Room, we are building on previous work with Thaumatropes and early animation to begin working on Flip Books. Yeah!  The hardest part in this process is seeing the forest through the trees. The concept of having 20 or more pages of art work to create was a deterrent to many but seeing the final product of others helped to keep them pressing on.
 The Pinterest Lesson Pages Automata-Kinetic-Art-Cool-Animation Pinterest Page have been  has been so much fun to explore. Nothing beats a visual description of what an actual flip book is and how to make it. As our final products have been assembled and stapled. We are now beginning to use awesome stop animation programs out there to have an alternative way to "animate" our flip books. So we are seeing the "flip" by hand and captured cyberspace on Youtube! Who wouldn't want their work to live forever. :)  Happy Flipping!
