Captivating Stories: A Ray Harryhausen inspired Art Course

Come together with fellow Home Educated children to create memorable stories together through images. We will explore what makes a good story and discover the history of Stop Motion. There will be plenty of opportunity to get creative through drawing, model making and tinkering on the computer as we create various elements for making our own Stop Motion video. One of the sessions will feature a special visit from filmmaker and photographer, Paul Gonella, who will help you create the Stop Motion film! 

We will also get a chance to visit the Ray Harryhausen Exhibition at The Gallery during the course.

Led by artist and home educator, Veronica Williams, you will be supported in a fun and comfortable environment.
