Unit 1-Part a: arts challenge.

I would like to explore cut out animation as my art challenge, because i would to develop my abilities in animation.

Strengths:

• My creativity.
• I have created animations before. 
• I have used iStopmotion before and therefore know how to use it.

Weaknesses:

• My ability to draw.
• I have TOO many ideas.
• I'm too impatient to use flash.

Why cut out animation, I would like to explore a different animation method whilst keeping with a sense of familiarity and to explore stop motion techniques further.

Skills needed for this project:

• I will need to learn how to be more patient.
• Develop problem solving skills.
