[Drawing] Storyboarding stories story story

In this drawing lesson, I partnered up with my classmate Arron to create a storyboard. The goal of the lesson was to create a series of drawings that told a story. The catch was that we weren't allowed to use living or anthropomorphic characters to communicate the story. There were a few ways to work around this problem and in the end we chose to tell the story through the passage of time. We made a common theme throughout our story, showing the progression of human advancement versus nature.

For the human side of the screen, we showed the development of a city through the ages, starting at cavemen times and ending in a nuclear war in a futuristic city, causing devastation to the land. On the nature side of the story, we showed a tree standing strong throughout the ages while an apple grows. The tree stays strong until the nuclear blast, which causes it to lose it's leaves and finally drop the apple. The storyboards are below, as well as a page of our initial scribblings while we thought up the idea.
