As an animator, my work is mostly centered around storytelling. This is not to say aesthetics are not important, but my primary goal is telling a story of some sort. As a beginner of my art, I have not perfected my storytelling skills by any means. It is because of this I have chosen to visit a country that is not necessarily booming with art(although it is not entirely lacking) but a country that can inspire me toward my storytelling goals. So I have chosen Ireland.
I have wanted to visit Ireland for some time now, for it’s beautiful geography and it’s history, as well as family genealogy ties. Basically I want to travel all over the country and absorb as much of the landscape and culture I can that will inspire me in my future work. I will visit museums and historic landmarks, I also want to meet and talk to people and learn more about the country’s cultural past and present.
My end project will be an animation. It will represent everything that I learned and that inspired me. I will bring a project dedicated sketchbook, as well as a camera. I will sketch what I see and document what I hear. While I am there I will constantly be investigating storytelling ideas and character motives. By the time I depart I should have everything I need to start a project.
