Project 3: Animating Music and Poetry With Abstract Images

Description
Choose a piece of music and or a piece of poetry to animate. Explore the use of abstract images. Create emotions, atmospheres, textures and rhythms without using literal representations or realistic images. This should not look like an exercise, but a piece that can stand on it’s own with a proper sense of beginning middle and end. If you use a poem, either include a voice over narration of the prose, or use the text of the poem within your animation.
