The Art of It All

What have you learned about yourself or the world as a result of living through the COVID-19 pandemic? Your challenge is to express your experience of living through this historic time through a work of art.

Covideo-19

Summary

We created an animation video with our toys as the heroes of the work and our drawings as the other elements of the location using "Stop Motion Studio Pro" app to make the video. We approached the theme of the global challenge with art to express our feeling through this pandemic and how we managed to live through the lockdown and cope with the new style of life. We used data from NASA and a great astronaut's tip of living in space or elsewhere and integrated theme in the scenes of the video.

How We Addressed This Challenge

The project answers the major question of the challenge in a form of a work of art. It shows how we adapted despite of the challenges that were always there, like staying home with no school or many outdoor activities because of the lockdown. It shows our life style as many other people coping with the existence of a global pandemic. Our project used art and made use of the data of NASA, like articles on the website by astronauts.

How We Developed This Project

-Our love for the video-making and editing and our new life style as two brothers through the pandemic gives us all the reasons to choose the challenge. We are still students, and schools are closed. I am a 7th grade student, and my brother is a 4th grade primary school student. The inspiration comes from how art relieved and mitigated these times as we like to make videos as a new way to enjoy our time while staying at home.

-Our approach to the project is thematic, visual and global. The theme is defined by the challenge which is living through the pandemic and we approached the theme visually representing a global crisis that forces new life style.

-We used data from NASA as there were links that provides data on living in isolation and tips to follow for living in confinements whether in space or elsewhere.

- The tools we used to develop the project are "Stop Motion Studio Pro" app, our toys and drawings that we have drawn to use in the project.

-We had lots of problems as we have big ideas and only two days and our toys while we can buy new materials because of the lockdown that closed the stores and have restrictions on transport of online buying. We have changed the scenes many times to fit what we had and to fit the time.

Data & Resources

We integrated data from these two links that informed us about tips about living in isolation:
