Artist will learn how to create motion-graphic videos and combine them with 3D installation to grow into a new direction, and attract more audience. Producing a video art piece and a corresponding 3D structure and successfully fit them together as one piece. Exhibiting the new exemplary artwork in a public space. Get feedback on the technique and aesthetics of the process in a public workshop. 2: Artist achieve growth in a new direction and expanding her artistic skills. Attendance of the final exhibition. Feedback in workshop and studio visit about value and quality of the new technique.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I created a one-minute animation loop using a combination of real-life video footage and drawings. I projected that onto a stretched canvas hanged on. The stretched canvas represented the 3D structure. It pays homage to classical visual art. The projected animation celebrates both Feminism and Islamic art. 2: I learned the basics principals and techniques of animations using Adope AfterEffects, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro programs. The outcome was presented in two exhibitions, a lecture and several studio visits.
