The final animation project will be edited by Klein and posted on a Vimeo page for public viewing.

This is a fun and exciting way to learn the basics of how a common material like paper is made and to discover all the different ways it can be used. We’ll make and use paper in a traditional way–creating paintings but also make three dimensional objects like bowls and even jewelry.
