Composition: Humble Beginnings is a video installation that takes simple doodles from my eleventh-grade planner and turns them into three-dimensional spaces. The doodles become the stepping stones into the realm of digital art. This piece will show an original doodle created in 2017/2018 and over time delves into the mind of the creator to alter the perspective of the vision behind it. This is done by turning the doodle into an immersive, three-dimensional world that changes and develops into a different doodle. This process will happen multiple times, showing the unique worlds each doodle creates. The creation of a seemingly rudimentary doodle opens the mind to possibilities and unique ideas that were previously unimaginable.
This project is the culmination of my studies throughout my college career. The doodles from my eleventh-grade planner inspired me to pursue my degree in Emergent Digital Practices so this piece pays homage to those original doodles by integrating them into a demonstration showing how my artistic skills and imagination have evolved since their creation.
This work was displayed at the EDPX Expo in May at the University of Denver.
