A Visual Map of My Favorite Place

     Whenever I need to take some time for myself to relax or be creative I go to what I call my outdoor studio.  It's a little patio in my backyard where I can paint and feel secluded.  Inspiration comes easily here since I can look out across the rolling field and watch birds flitting from tree to tree.


      I presented this using Prezi, because I like the idea of letting the viewer have the choice to explore on their own.  Included are some found objects, a snippet of an interview, photos, a sketch, a painting, and a video of a very peculiar bug.

It was definitely very immersive.  I particularly liked the special effects of the audio that sounded like a battle scene.  It surround the walkway that funneled the crowd onto the next scene.  The fog, battlecries, and clashing of swords made me feel like I was in the thick of a war.  I feel like this could have ...
