Sketching like William Kentridge

Description

William Kentridge, the child of two lawyers who actively fought the apartheid system, makes hand-drawn animated films that reflect on his country’s recent past. To create each sequential frame, he draws, erases, and reworks charcoal sketches, leaving traces that linger in ghostly fashion. Watch Kentridge's "Stereoscope" (1999) streaming in our first online exhibition: https://hirshhorn.si.edu/exhibitions/in-the-beginning-media-art-and-history/ CREATE: Experiment with animation using charcoal or another erasable material.
