Art 2070 A/ID Survey
Module 1: Bouncy Ball
For my first project, I was asked to practice animating a bouncing ball. I was given creative liberty so I decided to go with a graveyard theme because I enjoy drawing and animating skeletons as well as adding some fun details such as the expressive crow.
Module 2: Google Doodle, Wilhelm Röntgen
I was given the opportunity to make a Google Doodle animation on a historic figure of my choice. I chose Wilhelm Röntgen who discovered x-rays in a very interesting and comedic way, his wife walked behind the x-ray, revealing her skeleton and sending shivers down Röntgen's spine.

Module 3 Creepy Character Model
I was challenged to create my own creepy character based on a real animal. The animal I chose was a pangolin which I never heard of until a bit before this project was assigned, I felt it would be fun to make such a cute animal into a scary and abnormal creature.

Module 4: 2d Stop Motion feat. Creepy Character
For the last project, I was able to choose between a 2d digital animation of my creepy character or to make a stop motion. I decided to do a stop motion because I wanted to challenge myself to something new. I really enjoyed making it, and seeing it come to life when it was put together was really exciting.

Animation from one of the modules
When we were taking an art class that had multiple modules in one, I finally got to try animation and one of my favorite assignments was making a Google Doodle based on our favorite memory. I chose my memory of my dad coming down to NC from Maine to take me to the movies.
