Ai Animation for Elementary

I was asked to put together an ai art and animation lesson for elementary students. I packaged up into this newsletter this quick project that combines physical art creation, literacy, and digital animation created with ai that elementary students could accomplish in one session. The drawing guide is in the activity packet that you can download for free for World Read Aloud Day: WRAD24.

Begin by reading PETER O'METER, the augmented reality interactive SEL story about a robot who becomes emotional when his buttons are pushed.

Download this step by step guide that shows you how to draw PETER O'METER

This guide is part of the Amazing Robot Drawing and Coloring Book. It's filled with scenes from PETER O'METER and 'how to draw guides' for each robot. It gives children a way to engage with the content of the book in a calming and creative way. Check it out here.

UPDATE: If Meta Demo Lab is not available, try Animagic App

Use MetaDemo Lab to turn your drawing into an animation with their ai program designed for children's art. sketch.metademolab.com/ Just follow the simple online directions.

See how Mrs. Brown's second graders used this lesson to create an amazing collaborative video.
