History
by: Morgan Sawyer
    I created this piece as both a homage to my love for history and historical figures but also as a comment on how we as a society view it and how it is taught in public schools today. I hope you enjoy or hate this piece, any response is better then feeling nothing.

Process notes:
    In-order to compose this piece I first had to do a series of detailed process sketches that then were taken into a light table and used to frame my final piece.
