Project 2

In this project you will work with ‘poetry’­ and images—interpreting, mashing up, composing a text—then translating to create an animated narrative using found or generated graphic images. Students will first develop texts and a design plan then produce an animated interpretation (not an illustration) that expresses the spirit of the text.
