Bring a Memory to Life is a hands-on stop-motion animation workshop for children ages 6–12 that explores memory, creativity, and well-being through art.
The session begins with a short excerpt from the Emmy-nominated animated documentary See Memory, followed by an introduction to frame-by-frame animation. Children will then use drawing and collage to recreate a meaningful personal memory and transform it into their own short stop-motion film.
Through creative storytelling and self-expression, the workshop invites young participants to reflect on their memories, share their experiences, and experience the joy of bringing their own artwork to life.
