Ball Transform GIF

I had my digital art students make GIFs using photoshop. They picked it up surprisingly well. The assignment was to make a ball bounce and transform into something else. I made this quick example during class when I was explaining the assignment. He's a happy little orange thing. Of course I had to explain squash and stretch concepts too.

These are a few of the student examples I very much enjoyed. Everyone is unique on their interpretation of the project. Go to eratsartroom.blogspot.com to see more student art.

Upcoming BFA Show

Coming soon to a college art gallery not near or near you: Alisha Hagen, MSUM BFA show. In one month I will have some art in my college's gallery. Last semester I worked on creating these awesome zoetropes for the installation. Blood, sweat, and tears were shed while welding and animation the contents... maybe not so much blood, but some sweat and tears. The images are a quick preview, but you'll have to check them out for yourself on March 2nd if you really want to get the full effect of the amazing-ness.

The final product in motion.

Sister's Wedding Slide Show

I made this as a wedding present for my sister on her wedding day. Better than having to spend money on a gift eh?
