This last computer project was my favorite. We scanned our faces and used Illustrator to "paint" the image by creating planes of different colors to match the scan. All the portraits have a somewhat pained expression because of the scanning process. The illustration has lots of room for the artist's own interpretation of the subject, and has more variety and choice available than using a program's filter.
We watched clips of the movie Waking Life ,which is a movie animated using this same method of digital image making. I had seen Waking Life before when I was working on the MLK East Busway Community Mural Project. Free (the group leader) would bring in movies he wanted us to see when it was raining or we couldn't work on the mural. Waking Life was one of them. It has amazing animation and I appreciate it even more knowing how exactly it was done.
