The Summer Programme for Children presented three weeks of animation workshops using stop motion animation techniques. 45 children participated in this year's programme, and their work can be viewed in the gallery on a large plasma screen until 12th. September.
These workshops were designed and facilitated by artist, Julie Forrester. Over the course of a week each participant made two art animations, which were burned onto dvds.
Julie Forrester is a board member of Kids Own Publishing and a passionate children’s advocate. The workshops explore narratives with children using stop motion animation techniques and web publishing. The workshops cross media; sound, construction, photography and lighting, and allow children to build entire worlds, to engage imaginatively with materials and narrative and even self publish. These workshops were oversubscribed.

Creating Waves 2009
Thursday 11 June 2009 from 6pm to 8pm
The Crawford Art Gallery was a hub of energy and excitement on June 11 when fourth class pupils from Beaumont Boys National School and their teachers Jacinta O’Sullivan, Norma Nagle and Julie Devine S.N.A., presented the art work that they realised as part of Creating Waves – Crawford Art Gallery 2009. Over 200 people were in attendance including pupils, family and friends.
For 5 months, the 29 boys have been actively engaged in a wide-ranging series of gallery-based workshops coordinated by artist Sorcha O Brien. Sessions with artists Lisa Fingleton, Julie Forrester, Emma Klemencic, Lynda Loughnane and Charlotte Donovan, incorporated film making, ceramics and stained glass.
The evening was an opportunity for the
pupils to guide their family and friends around
the gallery and introduce them to the collection they now know so well. A guide for young people developed through this project is available from the Gallery Bookshop on request.
Creating Waves is an art in schools project supported by Cork City Council.
