THE COOL TO BE KIND EXHIBIT 
(2025)

The Cool To Be Kind Exhibit was an extracurricular student work group (SWG) working with visiting Fulbright professor Zeynep Akcay and Dr. Christine Veras at The University of Texas at Dallas to make short animations focusing on the theme of kindness. The goal of the 4-week work course was to create short looping animations to be seen in AR (augmented reality) at a final one-week exhibition presentation.

​

My animation is a depiction of kindness through the act of giving what you can. I first needle-felted a wool painting with felt to serve as my static art piece for the AR to scan. The animation was created with stop motion animation with an over-the-top camera and 2D animation faces and outlines drawn overtop.
