This class is for artists interested in building basic skills in 2D hand-drawn animation, and stop-motion animation. Whether under the camera using clay, or over the light table drawing morph animations, students will get the chance to explore both areas of these fun and useful forms of animation. Regardless of your artistic background, these mediums are for everyone of all skill levels. You will get to see your ideas come to life by combining this analog form of art with post production, and editing in After Effects. Building skills to create and produce the content.

  • There will be light outside of class work. Mostly to take what they are learning in class, and observe the world through the lens of an artist, and how it can help and affect their work. (Mindful Thinking) Along with this may be some research on choosing images or ideas, to bring them to class to work on them!

    Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.

    This is an ONSITE course. Students are expected to adhere to our COVID-19 policies. For more info please visit visarts.org. 


Metz, Evie

Evie Metz is an award-winning animator, photographer, and interdisciplinary artist. Her creative practice explores the cycle of life and the values of human beings.

Her introduction at an early age to photography was through a darkroom. That one-of-a-kind magic inspires her more experimental and expressive approach to making pictures and engaging the world around her. She also specializes in fabricating puppets and miniatures for the worlds she handcrafts and brings to life through stop-motion animation.

Her passion for teaching manifests in encouraging people to be their authentic selves while discovering their creative vision. By providing confidence with tools, techniques, and skills for professional execution, she seeks to cultivate a supportive community that begins in the classroom and continues on afterward.
