I absolutely loved this project. I've never formally completed a project using a drawing tablet, and as someone who is not a trained drawer (yet, their maybe a new venture for a BFA in Fine Art in the process). I originally had a slow motion skier from the X Games which I thought would be easy, however after four days of working on it, I knew I had to scrap and find something I could make for a solid portfolio piece.

I went to looking for dance pieces, as an artist I'm extremely interested in the body. In more of my multimedia and video art, as well as writings, I'm interested in the gendering of bodies in relation to sexuality, culture, and spirituality. So, one of my favorite choreographers is Travis Wall, he was the runner up the of the second season of FOX's So You Think You Can Dance, and known for his advocacy for the queer community. This was from a piece he choreographed for Shoshana Bean's cover of This Is Me from The Greatest Showman (2017).

Bouncing Ball

Bouncing Ball I started this assignment thinking I was going to do a man dropping a barbell and have it bouncing off. However, a person is a lot of moving components and as someone with no stop motion experience I decided we would save that challenge for another day. I had already picked out this bright and beautiful color palette and the thought of doing something a little more simple, but playing with the aesthetics more. The red squares are intended to be apples, I think stop motion gives you the ability to manipulate reality and bring a geometric simplicity to fantasy or reality. This was a great opportunity and I look forward to hearing critiques and making the next assignment better.
