FREE WORKSHOP| Stop Motion Animation with Aideen Barry
Advertisement
Join us for an exciting, hands-on animation workshop inspired by the creative practice of Irish artist Aideen Barry. Through stop-motion, and digital animation techniques, participants will bring their imaginations to life while exploring the fascinating world of animated storytelling through collaboration.
Date: Sunday, October 18, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM
Ages: 8–16
Location: Oakville Galleries in Gairloch Gardens
(1306 Lakeshore Rd East, Oakville, ON L6J 1L6)
Participants will begin by exploring visual fiction making, inspired by Aideen Barry’s playful works such as Levitating, where she appears to float above the ground through a series of photographic images. Children will learn how an animation is created frame-by-frame, with the key insight that 12 images make up one second of smooth motion. Each participant will create their own short animation by drawing sequential images, which will then be photographed and compiled using stop-motion software, just as Aideen does in her creative process.
