Homework!

I had my first assignment due for Principles of Screen Design today! We had to get 5 frames from a movie and simplify it so that everything can be expressed with just two tones, black and white. It was an exercise to help us gain an understanding of the thought process that is used in developing a composition for a story board or scene. I of course chose Tangled since I have been reading the art book and proceeded to watch the movie two more times as I worked on my frames. (They look kind of weird small you should click them so that you can see it bigger)

I may go exploring more tomorrow since there is no school because of the Ching Ming Festival which is also known as the Grave-sweeping or Spring Remembrance. Ching Ming is when Chinese families show their respect by visiting the graves of their ancestors to clear away weeds, touch up gravestone inscriptions and make offerings of fruit and wine.

I really like this concept of visiting ancestors even if they lived long before you were even born. It is kind of a happy/morbid since even though people you have known in your life may no longer be here there are still those who care enough to visit your final resting place.

So on the happy note I end this post :P
Love you all!
