2D Animation Holiday Program
In a convergence of purpose and passion, Consultus Publishing Services (CPS) partnered with the National Arts Gallery Zimbabwe (NAGZ) to hold a 2D animation workshop from the 19th to 23rd May 2022. The mandate of the NAGZ Education Department is to promote Art Education in Zimbabwean schools and communities as a whole. The Holiday Art Camps allow children and adults to explore their artistic skills and nurture talent. These camps are held every April & August holidays. Consultus Publishing Services publishes and distributes primary school Visual and Performing Arts textbooks for the new curriculum, from ECD A to Grade 7. The two organisations share purpose in the promotion of visual and performing arts, with a goal to foster appreciation of visual and performing arts and help bridge the gap between aspiration and realisation. CPS conducted and facilitated the 5-day workshop, and facilitated through its Digital Production Associate, Oscar Lwalwe. Mr Lwalwe holds a Visual Arts and Design Diploma from the National Art Gallery of Zimbabwe. Mr Lwalwe is a talented and passionate artist who hold the craft of 2D animation in high regard. "The experience was based on engaging digital arts with modern art medium, such as software and tablets. The idea was to create a relationship between young arts and the digital art world. It was very educative and entertaining experience which allowed both the lecturer and students to understand better ways and other methods of being creative." - Oscar Lwalwe 2D animation is generally associated it with classic Disney films or The Simpson. Animation is a common form of filmmaking or storytelling used in entertainment and education. 2D animation is one of the major types of animation. It’s widely used for creating animated movies, cartoons, marketing videos, advertisements, corporate presentations, educational materials, video games, and so much more. Animated videos are engaging and can make a huge impact on the audience. Hence CPS’s interest in the naturing of young digital arts talent. The 2D Animation lessons were the first ever done at the National Art Gallery of Zimbabwe. At the end of the program the 11 young participants were awarded certificates sponsored by CPS. The award ceremony was attended by Mr Masimba Tinashe Madondo on behalf of Consultus Publishing Services, who conferred the participants with certificates which had the National Gallery Logo and CPS side by side. The partnership marks the beginning of a new era movement in the education and promotion of digital arts in the country. |
