Flipbook: Imagine, Draw, Make it Move!

Pera Kids
Ages 9-12

  • February 1, 2025 / 13:30

Inspired by the animated video installations in In Search of Vera Molnár, participants design flipbooks, a technique used primarily in early animation, with drawings that continue with slight differences on each page and create the illusion of movement. In the workshop led by illustrator and graphic designer Ferhat Akbaba, participants learn the basic principles of animation. At the end of the process, each participant has their own 66-frame mini-animation story.

Instructor: Ferhat Akbaba
Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 350 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum.
