Crestwood Elementary school students are producing a 10-minute stop-motion film as part of their art class, according to a May 1 announcement. The annual project turns the classroom into a movie studio and requires months of collaboration among students.
The project gives students hands-on experience with different aspects of filmmaking, including storyboarding, sculpting characters by hand, and animating frame by frame. Through this process, they learn how various art subjects come together when making a movie.
The Madison Metropolitan School District Board supports student well-being through health and safety initiatives, according to the official website. The board maintains 53 schools that include elementary, middle, high schools and alternative programs. It serves more than 26,000 students across these institutions.
Equity, inclusion, and excellence in education are key priorities for the Madison Metropolitan School District Board according to its official website. The board is led by an elected group of seven members who serve the Madison community.
Projects like Crestwood’s stop-motion film reflect the district’s focus on collaborative learning opportunities that connect different areas of study while supporting student growth.
