Our Mission is to teach students, of all ages, art-making skills that encourage creative thinking and communication.

I’ve heard many students tell me at the start of an art residency — “I’m not an art kid”. My general response is to say: Maybe you just haven’t found your medium yet. Watching that same student’s face light up when they see their animation come to life is one of the best parts of being a teaching artist!

The stories, writing and artwork shown in these animation samples were created by students in Memory Vessel Studio stop-motion school residency.
