The Academy Museum hosts an animation workshop celebrating Black animators in the film industry.

Participants learn about the process, techniques, and tools used in animation and create their own artwork.  

Animation is a filmmaking art form where animators begin with many still images that they assemble to create movement and eventually those images become a movie. Black animators have made major contributions to the film industry since the 1950s with Floyd Norman being the first recognized Black animator in history, creating opportunities for the many artists to come after him. 

Interested guests may join the drop-in workshop any time from 12:30pm to 2:30pm in the Shirley Temple Education Studio on the museum’s Lower Level.

Workshop Dates: 
February 11 and 18 

Museum admission is free for youth ages 17 and under with advance reservation.
