Senior year has not been easy! As Animation students we started our thesis pre-production in the fall, so the guidance we�re privy to from our professors and our peers is integral to building confidence in our ideas when they�re still seedlings.

I think if I have anything to say about the senior experience is dive into the guidance you�ve got while you�ve still got it. I�ve learned so much about my capabilities and comforts as an artist through the thesis project, and I�m excited � to get my projects submitted and celebrate with my peers!!

It was an exercise to think of thesis ideas that were more illustration motion focused than linear animation. Finding a way to make an interactive project was also a goal, and combining these ideas with poetry a friend of mine had previously created allowed an opportunity to stretch my image and word correlation practice. Making the project a collaborative one was very motivating. I would love to see the idea of collaboration explored as senior thesis shows continue in the years to come!

What is your �elevator pitch� for your senior exhibition project?

Predisposed is an interactive set of poems centered around addiction in the family unit. It has been my job in this thesis to illustrate graphics and GIFs to bring the poems to life so viewers can read at their own pace.
