My little animation

Here is an idea that gives young people the opportunity to integrate images, storyboard, music and art and design in an engaging way.
Several still images were captured with a digital camera and uploaded to Windows Movie Maker. Music was then added and each picture was edited to create the effect of animation. The result is very rough but involves a large number of Curriculum for Excellence experiences and outcomes in Language, Numeracy, Art and Design, Drama and Music. Can you think of any more?

Petrushka

Stravinsky's Ballet 'Petrushka' is occupying my mind at the moment. I believe that children could really enjoy doing some work with music and images around the story or even parts of the story. This little animated film is from the part in the story when the three dolls , Petrushka, the ballerina and the Moor are brought to life by the magician.
