WIZARD GIRL
This 15 second animation was created for a Time & Transformation project in my Studio Art 2 class. It was animated on a single piece of paper using charcoal and captured frame-by-frame as it changed.
In a way, this was destructive art, since the only existing frame that I have is the last one...
FILM
