WILDWild@heART Community Arts presents a 12 week fully accessible animation project for people with disability or mental heath issues – starting Sat 20 April.

Project participants will work with a professional animator to develop a group story, based on their own life experiences, and create an original short animation film. The project will explore storytelling, storyboarding, film production and various animation techniques, with a focus on using the iPad as an animation tool.

The project runs on Saturdays from 1-4pm at North Melbourne Town Hall, starting Sat 20 April and running for 12 weeks. A small weekly fee will be agreed depending on circumstances and funding package.

If you’re interested, or know someone else who would be, please contact Wild@heART on 9326 9970 or info@wildatheart.org.au.

Wild@heART’s most recent animation project, You See Me, was recently screened at the Other Film Festival, at Moscow’s Breaking Down The Barriers disability film festival, and is soon to be screened on Federation Square’s big screen.

The White Cube Workshops are a great way for emerging artists to learn how to negotiate the pitfalls (and celebrate the wins) of a career as an artist.

On Saturday, October 17, Kerry Markham of the Australian Cloth Dolls Association held an all day Cloth Doll workshop in Laurel Lodge. Cloth dolls are usually highly worked, very solid artistic dolls made to look at not to play with. It can take weeks to create a single doll and workshops can go for several days. Kerrie proimised us that this doll wouldn’t take as long as that! 

Kerrie was lovely and very knowledgable, the conversation was pleasant, the learning curve not too steep and at the end of the day we all had a beautiful elf doll to take home. 

Have a look at some of the photos from the day:
