Get an idea and decide what will happen in your story.
2. Create a Storyboard
A storyboard is a graphic organizer – a series of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing an animation or any sequence.
Sketch out the events in your story.

Characters: clay will be available at the workshop
- create 3-D characters about 4 inches high out of clay
- if you want to work flat in 2-D, create characters (or shapes) out of cut paper or objects
- small objects such as paper clips, legos, and whatever else you can think of can also be used. Bring these items with you.
