With Their Lives Upended, They Practiced the Art of Resilience

"Pictures of Belonging" traces the careers of three female artists who flourished despite the U.S. government's imprisonment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

Jan 18: National Children's Museum welcomes Animationland to our Visiting Exhibit Hall

Discover Your Story - Animationland Opens at National Children's Museum

WASHINGTON – Calling all budding stop-motion animators, directors and sound artists! Animationland opens at National Children's Museum on Saturday, January 18, 2025. Guests are introduced to Tracey the pencil dog and her cast of fantastical friends as they make their way through the colorful and immersive environments of the exhibit, learning animation techniques along the way. Developed and produced by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI), this exhibit seeks to educate young learners about how art and science intersect in the making of animation.

Hosted in the Museum's Visiting Exhibit Hall, Animationland is designed for guests of all ages and artists of all skill levels. The exhibit focuses on the basics of the animation process featuring interactive experiences including a sketching studio, a sound effects booth, and the opportunity to plan and star in a stop-motion production.

Through immersive experiences, visitors learn to use animation as a gateway into the world of math and science. This allows children to understand the interplay that occurs between art and science and how they can apply those skills to tell their own stories in innovative and dynamic ways.

As guests journey through Animationland, they explore the following realms and animation techniques:

Turtleback Island: Visit Tracey's Studio to learn about storyboarding, draw characters using transparent light tables, and make your own storyboard template.
Prickle Desert: Play with a model Mutoscope, an early motion picture device, and learn about frame rates and frame isolation.
Comfort Peaks: Create stop-motion animations at four stations supplied with a variety of props and colorful backdrops.
Blub-Glub Village: Dive into full-body stop-motion animation using a gridded floor plan and creative image capturing.
Forgotten Forest: Engage with new senses and props in a Foley sound artist studio.

"We are thrilled to host an exhibit that supports our mission to promote STEAM education, dynamically connecting the creative world of art with the scientific world of physics and math," said Kiryn Hoffman, President and CEO of National Children's Museum. "Animationland allows children to be curious and inventive in a positive space where all ideas are supported. Everyone can be an artist and bring their own stories to life."

Animationland is included in the cost of Museum admission. Tickets to the Museum are $18.95 for adults and children 1 and older and are free for children under 1 and Museum members. For more information about the exhibit at National Children's Museum, please visit the Museum's website: www.nationalchildrensmuseum.org/explore/exhibits/animationland/.

Located at 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW off the Woodrow Wilson Plaza, National Children's Museum is open 9:30 am – 4:30 pm every day except Tuesdays.

Animationland was created by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry and is locally supported through the District of Columbia Executive Office of the Mayor – Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Hooray For Gazawood!"

"Hooray for Gazawood!"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4071

I was peeping the news from L.A. along with Kathleen Wallace's recent
Substack column about Boss Media hand-wringing over the fate of film and
TV stars whose homes were lost in the fires which got my brain sizzling,
but the final inspiration was overhearing some smarmy, plaintive woman's
voice on MSNBC talking about people whose homes and neighborhoods lay in
smoking ashes, burning schools and playgrounds, people who'd lost
everything and had to evacuate with nothing but what they could shove
into a bag, living in their cars, living in tents — and it sounded for
all the world as if she were describing Gaza, except she was talking
about goddamned L.A. ...and I thought of News Nation, CNN, the L.A.
Times and Associated Press clutching their pearls and moaning OH, WON'T
SOMEBODY THINK OF THE STARS...?

Y'mean, the Hollywood stars who pimp and symp for Israel and Zionism,
who gladly, gleefully support the incineration and destruction of
neighborhoods like theirs on the other side of the Earth by the Chosen
People™? Y'mean, THOSE stars?

Hooray for Gazawood!

-----

"Janice and I lived in our home since 1979. We raised our children and
grandchildren here. Every inch of our house was filled with love.
Beautiful memories that can't be taken away. We are heartbroken of
course but with the love of our children and friends we will get through
this..."
— Billy Crystal in a statement released via Associated Press, 01.09.2025
