Week 15: Make it Move

This week we’re taking a slightly different approach to making our artwork move. You may notice that Week 15’s prompts are all objects, not movements. For this week’s theme: Make it Move – we’ll be adding movement to objects. Pick your favorite animation and apply it to each drawing prompt.
