BHS art teacher Katherine Purcell is passionate about engaging her students.
In her 3D design and sculpture classes students created animations using the Stop Motion Studio and iMovie apps on their new iPads. They began by creating a storyboard to plan out their animations. They worked individually or in groups of two and were required to make their animations at least 10 seconds long (120 pictures) and to add sound using iMovie.
