Hand-Drawn Animation Workshop

Join the HCA's spring exhibiting artist, Joseph Fontinha, in a fun weekend workshop and learn how to make your favorite picture or drawing come to life through animation! Using printing, coloring, drawing and quirky mark making, we work frame by frame to turn our original works into short morsels of moving magic.

Get inspiration from Fontinha's exhibit, Monsters, Memes, and Mementos featuring vintage movie stills, heroes, and viral visual markers, on view from May 28–June 28!

Please note: Come to this workshop with the following:

• Your smart phone (with a camera capability)
• Before the workshop, please download the Stop Motion Creator App on your phone.
• A copy of a photograph or drawing you would like to turn into an animation.
