Learning to Play

 

Playtime! Origami boats and cut/ torn paper animation using the scanner. Playing is such a creative act, it's a shame grown-ups stop doing it... something about the craft activity freeing part of your head to wander, and wonder. More play-parties for adults! (no, I don't mean sex). There is a learned theory about it all, if you want learned (quite a large strand of my PhD in fact) But these days post-academia Im all about the experiential.

This particular fun activity ended up as a story about learning to fly, unrecognizeable visually but nevertheless...
I suppose I could consider the playtime as a sort of pencil-test, a planning tool, a proof-of-concept. I love the freedom of stop-motion collage, but I love the process - and the drama - of black-and-white line drawing.
