My Students

Our middle school is a learning community that is committed to promoting academic excellence within a safe, nurturing environment that is responsive to the social, emotional, and intellectual needs each adolescent child. Ripp has more than 700 students enrolled and is Stamford’s largest middle school. The school community at Rippowam is a reflection of Stamford’s diverse population both ethnically and socio-economically. A predominant percentage of students come from low – mid income families as 60% of the student population is on free/reduced lunch.

My Project

The art department is going to use these materials to get a Claymation studio up and running. An interdisciplinary unit with language arts and the art department is developed where students will work on original short stories in language arts. The stories will be turned into scripts and then after approval, will be story-boarded.

The students will make their story come to life!

The students will take the storyboards to Art/IB Design where the students will create the scenery and terrain for their story. The students will then create the characters in the story out of clay and wire. The characters will be put in the scene where the cameras, hook up to a computer, will capture the magic.
