Everyone enjoyed pop-up books as a child because they are a very unique and expresive form of storytelling that engages the observer’s imagination.

Flat pictures literaly moving or jumping out of the page toward the observer will excite and entertain everyone!

In this class students will learn how these movements are made and learn how to make them. We will learn to build many different types of pull strips and tabs, folds, and pivots and hubs. Then they will use these new skills to create a story!
