Animated Beats

Turn your favorite tunes into a dynamic visual story using stop-motion animation! In this kit, students will sculpt and animate their own claymation scenes, syncing movement with rhythm to create a short animated music video. Using colorful clay and simple set-building techniques, students will explore creative ways to bring characters and objects to life, frame by frame.

To complete this project, students will need a cell phone, camera, or tablet and will use the free Stop Motion Studio app to capture and edit their animations. Whether crafting a playful dance sequence, an abstract beat-driven animation, or a quirky character performance, this kit offers a fun and engaging way to experiment with movement and storytelling through art.

Included Supplies:

• 12 colors of modeling clay

• 30 colors of cardstock

• Clay sculpting tools

• Armature wire

• Glue stick

• Scissors

• 4 square chipboard cardboard panels

• Tape

Just like a week-long art summer camp, this kit provides an immersive, hands-on creative experience—right at home!
