Freeze Frame - Optical Toys Workshop

Access

About

Ideal for younger learners, Optical Toys workshops allow kids to gain a fundamental understanding of how to animate an image, using hands-on learning activities.

Kids will build historic animated toys used in the early 19th century, which will help guide them to understand how individual pictures can come to life and make a motion picture. Using paper, markers and string, they will create their own Thaumatropes and Phenakistiscopes. This will allow kids to use their imagination and artistic skills to make their own creative ideas spring into life!

Ages 4-9, Single period tutorial

Idéal pour les jeunes élèves, cet atelier leur permettra de comprendre comment il est possible d’animer une image et ce, au travers des activités manuelles et ludiques.

Les enfants vont construire des jouets historiques qui étaient utilisés au début du XIXe siècle, ce qui les aidera à comprendre comment des images individuelles peuvent prendre vie en créant un film. A l’aide de papier, de crayons et de ficelles, ils créeront leurs propres jouets optiques. Les enfants pourront aussi faire appel à leur imagination et leurs talents artistiques pour animer leurs propres idées créatives!

Présenté en direct et en Français – le 6 octobre, 9h15 à 10h15

Culture Days Manitoba

Since the first cross-country Culture Days, Manitoba has been a leader in both the number and diversity of activities provided, and in attendance on a per capita basis. We are also leaders in best practices, driving the delivery of planning and marketing workshops for rural and northern communities throughout the Province and contributing to the development of a national Culture Days handbook that encourages participation of schools and students.

In Manitoba, Culture Days incorporated as Culture Days Manitoba Inc. in January 2013. Our mission is to celebrate the diversity of Manitoba’s arts and culture sector in all regions and communities of the Province. Nuit Blanche Winnipeg is produced by Culture Days Manitoba in collaboration with the Winnipeg Arts Council, Producing Partner. It is a free nighttime exploration and celebration of contemporary art that takes place on the opening Saturday of Culture Days. Core Winnipeg areas including St. Boniface, the Exchange District, Downtown and the West End will be illuminated by art installations and performances pieces.
