I really don’t like scary movies that much, I don’t do well with sitting in the dark being terrified…but I really like The Shining. So I would like to recreate a scene from that movie for the Make A Scene from a Horror Movie project.  While the classic scene of Jack chasing his wife throughout ...

Since there has been a ton of work done in this class, there are a works of mine that I like more than others. I would prefer to have my nice pieces represented more than my bad ones, of course. This being the case, I decided to make a compilation of my favorite pieces. My ...
