SUMMARY:Animate the Stars: Where Science Meets Art
DESCRIPTION:Animation professor Laurence Arcadias and NASA astronomer Robin Corbet team up to show us how to use state of the art animation techniques to illustrate the movements of the stars and planets! \nThe program begins with a short presentation on an astronomical phenomenon — past examples include Pluto\, Sunspots\, or The Solar Eclipse. \nParticipants then receive printed sheets of stills from an existing film that relates to the theme Robin introduced. Using markers\, crayons\, stickers\, stamps\, etc.\, we will creatively transform these frames into works of art! Scientists and artists CAN be friends!
