Siobhan Leonard
Capture Community Project

1224 W Loyola Ave, Chicago IL
October 6, 2013 - October 26, 2013

Siobhan Leonard's art education career began teaching film to children at a summer camp. As an experiment, she implemented stop-motion animation into the curriculum. The simple role of drawing was key as students created pictures, frame by frame, and assembled the many images into a short film. This experiment made Leonard realize just how much freedom there is in drawing and how uniquely different each person draws. 

Capture Community Project at Roman Susan is part of Chicago Artists Month 2013, the 18th annual celebration of Chicago’s vibrant art community presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. For ongoing updates on the project, visit captureprojectchicago.tumblr.com
