Stop Motion Projects in Adobe Express: Unleashing Creative Problem Solvers

Our resource this month is the possibility of students bringing their ideas to life with stop motion projects in Adobe Express! This hands-on activity challenges them to plan, design, and troubleshoot each step of the animation process—just like true Creative Problem Solvers.

Stop motion is a filmmaking technique where students take a series of photos of objects or drawings, moving them slightly each time. When these images are played in sequence, it creates the illusion of movement. In Adobe Express, students can easily upload their photos, arrange them in order, add text or audio, and produce a polished stop motion animation—all within a user-friendly platform that encourages experimentation and creativity!

Check out these student examples and teaching materials to adapt for your own stop motion project here:

As students innovate and adapt to bring stories to life frame by frame, students flex their critical thinking, resourcefulness, and creativity, supporting our Portrait of a Graduate vision.
