Project for my Animation 2: Experiments class
Our assignment was to create a physical animation by replacing the objects in order to create movement. We were also tasked with having three different types of materials used for the animation.
I love reptiles and watching people build bio-active homes for them, so I decided to make an animation to show my love for these animals. It was a fun process to think about objects as sources of possible animation. I used buttons, marbles, books, acrylic paint, matte spray paint, mixed-media paper, and other physical materials to create this project.
