For the last two weeks, 2nd graders have been experimenting with animation in the art room. The first project focused on flip books creating a ball bouncing. Now, students recently finished using the Doink Animation App on the iPads to create a running alien in four poses. The idea for this project is not originally mine, but from Tricia Fuglestad, an elementary art teacher at Dryden Elementary in Arlington Heights, Illinois.

|Composition directions for Alien running loose in the Art Room.|
Once students finished composing their alien running in the art room, they made a 2nd composition within DOINK by drawing a background for their alien to run such as the alien's home planet, spaceship, or imaginary world. If students finish composition two, they may play in the "cloud" by adding images or animations from online contributors to their 2nd composition. This video was not added to the final video submitted to YouTube.
