The Thaumatrope Workshop is a short introduction to one of the earliest and primitive form of animation. Thaumatropes use a flat disc with a different drawing on opposite sides. When spun quickly with two strings, it creates an illusion of a simple animation, or a combined picture. The students were assigned a different letter, which later combined to spell out “Paris in Motion”.
