Hey There!

Daria here.

Who is this "Daria"?

What the heck is she doing?

Does she like pizza?

These are the questions that I am here to answer for you today.

1. Who is this "Daria"?

Daria is a creature of the species Homo Sapiens, a polyglot, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a hot-chocolate-lover. But, most importantly for our purposes, she is a senior at Basis Scottsdale planning on going into Animation—more specifically, Character Animation.

2. What the heck is she doing?

Right now she's typing. But she's going to be using this blog to document her Senior Research Project ("What's that?") Glad you asked! The Senior Research Project is a program that her school offers, in which students take the last trimester off to research a topic of their choice. Daria has chosen to research animation and animated pieces, focusing on the process especially, what makes them successful, and how they are made, by making her own animation. She will be working with Peter Hannan, creator of CatDog, and Dru Hardy, the 2D art teacher at Basis Scottsdale, as mentors in this endeavor, while also researching much on her own from February to the end of the school year.

3. Does she like pizza?

Yes. Yes she does.

All jokes aside, thank you for visiting the blog; the journey ahead is going to be a great one, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
