 Once the movie was done we had a chance in this class to use the story and photos to make a ReKnit Tales. This project is when you take old clothing and make a new cool thing to wear. Then you add something that you can watch the photos that were made using digital art. The piece I made for this class was a sweatshirt. The sweatshirt is my style mixed with Alice in Wonderland style. I put nooses where the strings on the sweatshirt to talk about dead and the whole off with her head deal. I added Alice on the front of the sweatshirt one on the upper chest and on the pocket and both are different sizes but looking up to the person who is wearing it. I added two different sized Alices to go with the story more, although it's not shown in my movie so I kept it simple. I also added studs on the front pockets which bring out my style. I put hounds tooth print on the pockets to make the front have more a life then the back. I also added a gem in the zipper because I thought that Alice need some glam. On the hood itself it has circles which are made and put on there because the story has bubble in it. I added swirls on the sleeves because the story had them animated and I wanted to bring them in. On the back I added all the stills that we made for the video. Lastly I added part of a skirt to the sweat shirt to bring the role of the evil queen back into it. If I were to change what I did I would have used different things to print it on. The canvas printing paper was cool but I can't wash the sweatshirt now so I will be unable to wear it now, which is bad because I loved how it turned out. I would also want to make maybe 3 of them. I tried to add things dealing with every person in the story which was hard. I think that I could have one that had more blue so it was the Alice sweatshirt. Then reds and glam for the queen. Lastly green for the hatter because that's what he had in our movie, and he could have a hat on the hood of the sweatshirt. I just had a lot of ideas and had issues with making them fir together.

During week six we had a party. During the party the parents came down and the kids, and they saw the movies that the kids made while in the workshop. The party started down stairs where the parents and kids were able to create animations that are going to be onto the DVD. Then we went up stairs to show the movies to the parents, and students. During the party I was in change of the food, which I had to set up food, pour drinks, and clean up messes that people made. I also meet the parents to the boys I was working with.

Here is a still that my boy was working on it is the wolf walking. He spent a lot of time working on the different layers to get this done.

Presentation Script Outline > please keep it short and enthusiastic !

Our team is going to work on the story of Werewolves.

It is the story of boy and a mean/evil teacher who

Do not get  a long because the teacher gives a lot of homework, and is unfair. The boys decides to get back at the teacher.   The main transformation that happens in the story is the boy turning into a werewolf.

The visual look of our animation project is going to be inspired by geometric artwork and illustrator drawn images.

We are going to create a dark mood by using these cool colors and black and white people. Techniques we are using are with by these hand drawing and computer.  I am excited to work on this project because we think werewolves are cool, and people Tran morphing with lunar cycles is interesting.
