What is the central idea of your concentration?
The central idea of my concentration is the life lessons people learn from the famous and heartwarming Disney movies. My whole childhood was built off of these movies and helped me love myself and the world around me even more than I did before. From Snow White to Monsters University, each movie holds some diversity in morals.
How will the work in your concentration demonstrate the exploration of your idea?
For each little life lesson, I hope to create a scene or design that portrays it. I wish to give them a magical aura like how each movie has touched my heart in a magical way.
