Animated Beats

Bring your favorite tunes to life with stop-motion claymation creations. Using colorful clay and simple set-building techniques, students will explore creative ways to bring characters and objects to life, frame by frame.

To complete this project, students will need a cell phone, camera, or tablet and will use the free Stop Motion Studio app to capture and edit their animations. Whether crafting a playful dance sequence, an abstract beat-driven animation, or a quirky character performance, this kit offers a fun and engaging way to experiment with movement and storytelling through art.

Included Supplies:

• 12 colors of modeling clay

• 30 colors of cardstock

• Clay sculpting tools

• Armature wire

• Glue stick

• Scissors

• 4 square chipboard cardboard panels

Each kit includes a beautifully designed, easy-to-follow curriculum guide—crafted by experienced art educators. Inside, you’ll find detailed project instructions, skill-building tips, and creative prompts that walk students through every step with confidence. Plus, gain access to exclusive video tutorials online, so artists can follow along at their own pace—anytime, anywhere.
