animating for change
Example animation made by first-time animator at Tropotrope. Inspired by the line:
"politicians peeped it'd make us easier/to walk on than water was for their Jesus"
Our partners at Tropotrope: Arts Learning Lab are inviting community members to animate one line of the Prison Poet Laureate's work at a time.
Seasoned art instructor Sara Haley will guide you through basic principles of animation so you can create confidently.
No prior experience needed; all levels welcome! This is a donation-based event, with donations benefiting Exchange for Change. Supplies provided by Tropotrope.
The end product will compile the whole community's efforts, much like the collaborative animation below by South Miami K-8 students for the inaugural Prison Poet Laureate, Eduardo Martinez:
