1525: Animating Stories
Expanding upon the skills developed in our Painting Stories workshop, this session with artist Woosun Choi explores movement and the expressive potential of form within animation.
Through the process of frame-by-frame drawing, you will study motion, rhythm, and transformation — learning how to bring still images to life through observation and hand-drawn sequences.
We will be working on paper rather than digitally to encourage a tactile awareness of drawing, developing both patience and sensitivity to visual rhythm.
Workshop Highlights:
-
Introduction to the principles of frame-by-frame animation (timing and spacing)
-
Observing and interpreting movement through drawing
-
Creating sequential images on paper
-
Expressing emotion and narrative through minimal movement
-
Developing awareness of rhythm and continuity in visual storytelling

Woosun Choi is a visual artist from Seoul, South Korea, based in Nottingham, UK. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from Nottingham Trent University.
Working across oil painting and digital media, her practice explores the externalisation of personal emotions through a range of fictional characters — each representing different aspects of herself. Her work examines the social and political dimensions of emotion and identity, transforming the ordinary moments of daily life into new realities through introspection and imagination.
