Exploration with 10 year olds: Animation and with Purple Mash

Bryneven Primary School's Mr Bradley provides another lesson. The study exploring the basic technique of tracing in animation; our creativity is fed using the animation tool, of Purple Mash. The tool of the 25th October is 2Animate -it provides the base, features that need further engagement with the idea of bringing pictures into life. We take an image -save it to our computer; then from a Youtube video we capture a screen shot -using the snipping tool: a cute baby monkey provides the base -it feeds it into our further work. We import the picture into all or one of the frames in the animation project. We then trace the outlines of the cute monkey and fill up with the paint bucket. 2Simple provides a whole plethora of educational features -in their Purple Mash website; these feed our educational dynamic, at Bryneven Primary -within it lies the 21st century educational being emphasized. This lesson promotes the idea that tools, technique and practice should feed the project -though its an introduction; we need to be exploring the scope of the tool; more fully- therein we express creativity -that might have not been initially have been perceived to be within our means. Mr Bradley teaches for the Gauteng Department of Education. Mr Bradley teaches at Bryneven Primary School. This is a public school in Bryanston, Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. Bryneven Primary has introduced coding dynamics -using Purple Mash- since 2017. https://youtu.be/c__4GfWVlpk by Erin Bradley
