Kreativ-Workshops für Jugendliche am Ebertplatz (#2: Animation)

In the organizer's words:

Ebertplatz could do with more magic!

In our animation workshop, we choose a song and together we make a lyric music video for the karaoke party on Fries TV.
With a light table, bright colors and pens, we bring the lyrics to life with cartoons and stop-motion animation. We try to capture not only the lyrics themselves, but also the message that lies within them in loops and combine them with each other.

At the beginning we develop a visual concept for our music video and divide it into small pieces on which you work alone or in a team, we animate directly to the beat, put the parts together on the computer and show the first part directly on Saturday evening and sing to it.

On Sunday we will continue with this and deepen the basics of animation with paper, pen and photo camera.

You don't need any previous knowledge for the workshops - everyone is welcome!

About the creative workshop series:

Our Ebertplatz, in collaboration with Team _thek, is initiating a series of workshops with teenagers and young adults (16-27 years) to enable creative participation at Ebertplatz.

The aim is to make young perspectives visible and involve them as co-designers of the public space in order to strengthen their identification with the city and Ebertplatz.

The workshop will be led by a team of young graphic designers and illustrators(Deniz, Max, Fabi and Rosa), who are carrying out the project with funding from the City of Cologne.

The artistic exploration of Ebertplatz as an urban transformation space enables participants to make their own perspectives visible and experience themselves as active co-creators. Creative techniques serve as low-threshold, collectively usable media between art, youth culture and political imagery. The workshop series combines creative practice with reflection on one's own social space and strengthens self-confidence, teamwork and cultural participation.
