Unit 2B

Here I will talk about the practical issues that me and my group have planned for the hand drawn animation workshop. 

I plan to share arts activities and skills with other people by setting up a workshop for hand drawn animation in Wem Town Hall. 

Resources and equipment I will need to carry out the hand drawn animation workshop: 
- two light boxes to be used to trace the previous image when drawing the animation
- pens and pencils for drawing the different images for the animation
- two iPads to record the animation
- a stack of paper with hole punches so that they can be put onto the lightbox
- questionnaires that I will make and print out myself
- a tripod for the iPad to stand on
- chairs
- two tables for the light boxes 
- a laptop to show an example of an animation that we made earlier on

There are not any health and safety conditions for this workshop. All we will have to do is check that the light boxes are secure on the tables and that there is no food and drink near the electronic equipment. We will ask for permission before taking photographs of the people in the workshop. 

We will promote the project to others by talking to members of the public about the workshop. We will explain what animation is, how to create it and invite them to have a look at our set up. We will also set the workshop up in view of the public so that they can approach us when ever they want to. Hopefully, people will become interested and want to have a closer look at what we are doing or actually want to take part and have a go at creating their own short animation. 

If we need advice and support on the workshop or have a problem, we can always go to our supervisors who will be Sam and Donna. 

Our back up plan includes us switching roles if we need to. This means that if a problem occurs in a certain role, another member of the group can step in and help out. Also, when we are running the workshop, we may realise that a role isn't working out for a group member and we will swap roles if we decide that it will work better that way. However, we will try to stick to the plan as closely as we can and stay in our roles if everything works out well.

We will know if the project has worked well if the workshop attendees have enjoyed themselves and learnt something new. We will know if they have because we will ask them to fill out a feedback survey. I made this questionnaire before hand and chose the questions carefully so that we can gain as much useful feedback as possible.

I will know if my leadership skills are developing if the workshop turns out being successful and that everything goes to plan.
