Hi,
There are other forms of animation which don't need a digital camera.
Students can hand draw pictures and then scan them or draw them in a
graphics program. I had my students animate famous painting, using Paint
Shop Pro. One could also use the plain ole paint program, but it would
be harder.

Thanks for this great tip - my art club may have the chance to try
clamation
if
the teacher offering his video camera comes through. Our state - Mo.
might
have a
workshop on this too - there is some kind of contest in the spring we
could
enter
if we pull it off sucessfully. Catch is this teacher wants me to help
him
with a
variety show and that is definitely not my thing - so if I don;t give he
may
not give.
