From animation production to animation teaching, Wu Yanjie, director of * * * play creation, takes students to animate public issues and learn knowledge outside the classroom; Lead the teacher to integrate animation into the course teaching and add seasoning to the unchanging learning process. He showed the public that it was not difficult to express his opinions with animation.

"The first floor is now a judo classroom ..." In the film, boys in judo clothes clenched their fists with both hands and held their breath for the other side's attack. The next second, a shoulder fell, and the boy turned around in the air, instantly becoming a vegetable vendor in Republic of China clothes. The picture is accompanied by a clear child's voice: "But it was a vegetable market in the early days. The alumni who participated in the "Farewell to Loyalty Building" activity under the stage couldn't take their eyes off it. It's hard to imagine that such exquisite real-life animation was made by the fifth-grade students of Loyalty Elementary School.

From interviewing alumni, writing scripts to shooting animations, these students, who are only 11 years old on average, are led by Wu Yanjie, the creative director of * * *. Wu Yanjie teaches students how to interview alumni, operate an aerial camera, and shoot the principle of stop-motion animation. Recalling the film production process, he proudly said, "They (students) all feel very honored, because it is equivalent to doing something for the school. They didn't know that Zhongyi elementary school used to go to Jinmen to work in the army, and I went with them to learn and understand. Through animation, Wu Yanjie let the story of Zhongyi Elementary School be heard, and also let students make animations to let children re-understand the school history.

Wu Yanjie led the students to design a movie script, and made a stop-motion animation "Farewell to Loyalty Building" by using the architectural model. Wu Yanjie provided < P > as the director of an animation production company. Wu Yanjie began to step into the field of animation teaching in 213. He admitted that at first he just wanted to teach the public how to tell a good story with animation. Being in the animation circle for many years, he observed the change of the public's movie-watching behavior. "Now is the era of self-media, and people are more concerned about what I want to see, but what I want to say. Wu Yanjie reflected that since he has the skills of screenwriter and animation director for many years, can he contribute his own strength to help the public tell the story better? Therefore, he started his teaching path, "I hope these students will have a unique life experience from learning animation."

Wu Yanjie, who was originally an animation screenwriter, won the grand prize of children's film festivals at home and abroad. Besides offering animation courses, he also filmed animation for the children's drama "Grandma Fruit". Li Xinyun photographed

There are hundreds of animation techniques, and Wu Yanjie decided to start with stop-motion animation. "Stop-motion animation is easier to understand when cutting into animation. Maybe you can't make a six-year-old child understand 3d animation and computer animation in five minutes, and it may be difficult in 5 minutes, but stop-motion animation is not. Wu Yanjie holds the tablet, clicks on the app, picks up the coke on the table at will to take some photos, and then plays the photos continuously with the app, and a film of coke spinning out of thin air on the desktop is born. "With the help of technology, it is not difficult to do animation.

Wu Yanjie believes that animation education does not need to wait until children grow up, and the third and fourth grades are the best learning ages. "He has enough knowledge to use the app and can understand the concept of linear nonlinearity and the fun of images. Wu Yanjie explained that children who are interested in animation only need to spend three weeks teaching him the principles of animation, and if they want to improve themselves, they can find resources on the Internet. "Instead of waiting until she is eighteen and volunteering to fill in the film department, then you come in and do it for four years, and then you can only do one thing (learn movies). Which one is efficient?

Wu Yanjie developed his own teaching AIDS and started a children's camp. He laughed and said that he guessed the pulse of the times, and the course was well received and attracted the attention of the Yongling Foundation.

In 217, the Yongling Foundation invited Wu Yanjie to teach animation in a rural area, which made him think, "Besides animation, what can I do in education?" Wu Yanjie began to try to integrate the animation course into different public issues, and at the same time, let students have the opportunity to contact issues outside the general classroom.

Wu Yanjie uses animation to take students to know their hometown and the ocean. He once cooperated with Lin Wanru, a primary school teacher in South Australia, and took his students to the clean beach by the sea. After cleaning the garbage in the clean beach, he made it into animated props, so that students could understand the harm of garbage to the ocean and convey the importance of marine conservation through films. Wu Yanjie also led 12 children to make a sightseeing film "Banqiao Travel Notes" at the invitation of the Cultural Bureau of New Taipei City, and also made a film for the Cultural Bureau to tell the public what the city looks like in the eyes of children.

After arousing students' interest by using animation, students can be exposed to different civic issues, such as marine conservation and cultural preservation. Wu Yanjie provided

"Animation is a communication tool, which helps us to understand, internalize knowledge and then communicate it to the outside world. Wu Yanjie explained that film and television education in the past was regarded as vocational education. However, with the progress of science and technology, the ability to make movies has become more popular, broader and more important, and it should not be limited to the needs of work.

"Today we are going to talk about Du Fu's poems. Can children learn Du Fu's life first, and then we can make it into an animation? As it was his first animation, he could not forget Du Fu's life, because we linked him with life experience. Wu Yanjie, for example, believes that animation teaching can also be integrated into ordinary classrooms, so that some "seasoning" can be added to the unchanging learning process.

In addition to teaching students, Wu Yanjie also offers teacher training, hoping that teachers within the system can also devote themselves to animation education and add different teaching methods to the classroom.

Wu Yanjie didn't give up. He modularized the teaching methods, designed teaching AIDS with simple assembly, filmed teaching videos and uploaded them to youtube, telling teachers that teachers and students can learn how to make animations together as long as they give students teaching AIDS and show videos to them. Wu Yanjie also organized his own children's animation competition, which allowed teachers and students to contribute, and the effect was greatly improved. At first, teachers took students to make their own animations and put them on youtube for the public to watch.

Wu Yanjie's continuous efforts to promote animation education have finally begun to take root.

In 217, Chen Rulan, a teacher of Miaoli Tongxiao Maple Elementary School (Wumei Maple Branch), returned to school to lead four children to make stop-motion animation after attending Wu Yanjie's six-hour teacher training, and won the first prize of the National Grandparents' Day stop-motion animation film with "Grandma's bb Sound".

The news of winning the prize not only caused the major media to report this rural primary school, but also made the children of Maple Elementary School full of confidence. Chen Rulan didn't stop animation education. The next year, she wrote a teaching plan, applied for funds from the Ministry of Education, trained jingyi college students, volunteered, organized a team and made animation, so that animation education could spread to other schools in Miaoli.

Wu Yanjie was deeply moved by this. He said, "I planted this seed, and it really grew.

Chen Rulan, a teacher of Maple Elementary School, applied for funds from the Ministry of Education, cooperated with students in providence university and invited Wu Yanjie to give animation classes to children in Miaoli. Wu Yanjie provided

to browse the students' works, and Wu Yanjie said his next goal with a big smile. Through the children's animation competition that has been held for two sessions, Wu Yanjie has met many teachers who have worked hard with him for animation education. Now he will integrate resources and match the animation-educated teachers with schools with curriculum needs, so that more teachers can join in and help students understand and use animation.

"I have shared my teaching methods with many teachers, and now I want to make them move. Wu Yanjie said confidently.
