About the project
This animation project was a one day workshop at Osmani Primary School. It was part of a larger AHRC funded research project titled Embodied Emotions – at Queen Mary’s University of London.

A group of 6 year old primary school students were asked to each think of a feeling that they could not reavel to each other. They then created characters out of plasticine and pipe cleaners. After the characters were created, students paired up and were asked to use their characters to express the secret emotion that they had chosen, using stop-motion animation. Once the first of the pair had expressed their emotion, the second student would react to the first student’s emotion with their own character and secret emotion.

The still and the two films included are ‘Nauseous vs Nauseous’ and ‘Tired vs Happy’.
