My project is a Giraffe which I did in the style Surrealism.  It took me a little bit to figure out exactly what I wanted to do with the parts of my body that I scanned.  I scanned both my left and right hand along with my fore arm and the side of my face which i cut my ears out of to become the eyes of the giraffe.  I originally had it being a palm tree but it started to look more like a an animal that would be in a painting of one of Dali's paintings.  This is when I decided to transform it into a giraffe.  The body of the giraffe is made out of my two palms.  I think that although is not what I intended it to be that this works much better than just a tree.

This project was one of the most enjoyable out of all of the other projects for me.  This is because it was a lot of fun seeing the piece come together and start looking like the actual image.  I chose the Olympic rings because the Olympics have been a big part of my family for as long as I can remember.  It is also one of the most well known symbols in the world today because many almost every country in the world participates in The Olympic Games.

This is my flip book and it is in the style of the old cartoons like Tom and Jerry, Looney Toons, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, etc.  I really enjoyed those type of cartoons as a kid because of my Dad and thats what he use to watch when he was little so it was cool to grow up with those cartoons.  I did my flip book in a copy of frankenstein that I had from last year which was very convenient.  This assignment also took me a lot longer than I expected it to this just gave me a new respect for the people who created cartoons like this without computers.
