The characters 「動」(move) and 「畫」(draw) in the word animation each represent two important components of this art form. This workshop invites participants to experience the challenges of the body's stillness and movement in space, and to transform these physical experiences into drawings. Through animation, participants can liberate the static poses of a single drawing.

Led by artist Huang Shih-Yen, the workshop invites participants to draw movement through a hands-on process. Using crayons, participants will draw body poses on individual sheets of paper. They will begin by illustrating the starting and ending poses of a movement, then gradually fill in the transitional moments between them. As the pages are flipped rapidly, the once-static drawings come to life, allowing participants to experience firsthand the most fundamental and intuitive principles of animation through their own bodies and drawings.The workshop encourages participants to observe, sense, and create freely. Through the playful process of bringing drawings into motion, participants will develop confidence in their creative abilities and discover new ways of expressing themselves.
