Join us in December as we explore the design process behind Pixar Animation Studios. During this workshop, middle school students will be inspired by the museum’s Pixar installation and draw from their processes of iteration, collaboration and research to create their own characters and stories. Students will apply visual problem-solving to the creation of colorscripts, and learn to think like the minds behind Pixar’s most beloved films.
Grades: 6-8

Students will be able to:
- Study and draw inspiration from the collection of Cooper Hewitt.
