Phenakistiscope: Spin to Animate!

Pera Kids
Ages 9-12

  • February 1, 2024 / 13:30

Can a disk rotated in front of a mirror be used to see moving images? Do the lines come alive, or is it an optical illusion? In the workshop based on the Souvenirs of the Future, children are inspired by the motifs and animal-shaped ceramics in the exhibition and design a phenakistiscope with which they can animate an image of their choice. In the workshop led by animation artist Ferhat Akbaba, children learn the basic principles of animation and have the opportunity to add movement to their different drawings with the fun optical toy they design.

Instructor: Ferhat Akbaba
Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 250 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).
