Art Students at Mineral Springs Middle Create Stop-Motion Movies

Students in Kristin Jones’ art classes at Mineral Springs Middle School have been making stop-motion animated movies using characters they created.

In January, Robin Follett, an artist and teacher from Cary, visited Jones’ class as a guest artist and helped students work on creating characters. In the weeks since then, Jones has been working with the students to create their movies. Mary Naber, the media coordinator at Mineral Springs, has helped with the process.

Jones and the students put a lot of time and energy into the project, Naber said. “It was a tremendous amount of work.”

Jones has now compiled some of the movies, which are short, into a compilation that you can find at a website called Vimeo
