Artist Talk: Creating animated short film with traditional techniques
Advertisement
You're invited to meet and get to know the artists of Gabriola. This month our featured guest is Micah Goldstein, who is doing an arts residency here through the Kasahara Gabriola Trust and the Gabriola Arts Council.
Micah will share more about the process of making the animated film: rocks kissing (2025) https://micahwgoldstein.wixsite.com/micah/rocks-kissing
Learn about Micah's unique approach to animation that incorporates traditional animation techniques like using tracing paper and many layers of drawings, then bringing it all together into a shareable digital format in the end - this talk will offer something for those among us who are happy being ludites, and those embrace all of the techy tools too.
Friday, February 20
4pm to 5:30 or so.
Upstairs at Nova Gallery and Boutique in the folklife village
Tea and cookies will be served. BYOB is welcome.
Pssst. Anyone who would like to go to the Salon-Style art show curated by Gwen Spinks over at the Gabriola Arts and Heritage Centre afterwards is welcome to come along for that as well.
