Rachel - Week 7

Well...it is midterms time. I had been having a lot of trouble deciding what to do for my final project. I was stuck on the idea of morphing and finding fantastical ways of combining trees and people, so my first idea was to create encyclopedia pages about a disease that causes people to mutate into trees. That did not turn out so well (and I apologize for the really faint quality of the photos I took). Then I decided that, since morphing was sort of my theme, I would create an animation by adding/subtracting to a single, charcoal drawing while taking pictures. Unfortunately I could not find the tripod, so photography was out. So, since I was messing with the human body I thought I would use myself as a subject - and I finally decided to do a self portrait where I'm kind of....tree-ish. I'm also making a flipbook.
