Tate Movie Project will be stopping over at the Ikon on 2 & 3 December, joined by Wallace and Gromit creators, Aardman Animations, who’ll be giving pupils from Birmingham schools the chance to create an animation film by and for children to be broadcast on Blue Peter.

Pupils from St John’s CE Primary, St Catherine of Siena Catholic Primary, St George’s CE Primary and Woodview Primary, will have the opportunity to take part in the workshops, inspired by Ikon’s current Len Lye exhibition.

The results will be available to view on www.tatemovie.co.uk, where 5-13 year olds will be free to explore animation, scripting, editing and sound effects.
