‘Pool Party’

The idea behind my stop motion animation is that even in the making of the artpiece I felt happy to be thinking what it will feel like to be able to enjoy getting back together to have fun with my friends and family. The animation is about the normal day to day activities that we sometimes take for granted and it is only now we realise how special these times were. So welcome to my Pool Party!

‘We won against the Coronavirus!’

‘Fantasy Garden’

The idea behind my artwork is that I thought sometimes when we need to relax and take a break it's good to just sit down and let your imagination run wild. That's what I did and when it was over I had the idea to put it on paper. I put all my dreams and imagintation onto that piece of paper and I felt good when it was done.
