Week 1b

Today in class we picked emotions and then acted them out. This exercise was to prepare us for our first assignment, which is to animate a single black line to show whichever emotion we picked. I chose grief, which turned out to be more difficult than I though to depict through one line. My thinking for this project is that there are several stages to grief, specifically denial/isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance (https://psychcentral.com/lib/the-5-stages-of-loss-and-grief/). I think I will try to incorporate all of these moments in some way to create a successful depiction of the emotion. I will update later this week with what I have done, as well as my finished project.
