This GIF making workshop considers how the effects of engaging with art unfold when people are given the chance to spend some time remixing those artworks to create something new – a GIF!
GIF as in “Gift” or GIF as in a “Jiffy” – it’s scone/scone for the digital world and a reliable way to start discussion during an afternoon of GIF making (I’m in the ‘hard G’ camp). On the 2 and 9 October 2020, participants attended virtual GIF making workshops led by Charlie of the OpenEd Service at University of Edinburgh. Copyright free images of Scottish works of art held by the National Galleries of Scotland.
