Toronto is an ANIMATION CITY
The Toronto Animated Image Society’s Animation City program brings animated art and story making to your community group or classroom in the GTA and beyond. Our workshops offer a fun and unique way to learn about the animated arts, and our instructors incorporate many creative skills including drawing, painting, and sculpture, as well as performance, video editing, music/sound design, and special effects.
Workshops
Animation City is a resourceful addition to the classroom – our workshops are linked with school curriculum, and integrate skills in digital and media literacy, critical thinking, storytelling, visual arts and technology. We provide all equipment, materials, and instruction for our workshops.
Our workshops come in different animation styles, and for groups ranging from 10 to 100 participants, or more!
