Categories of the art included 2-D animation, 3-D animation, interactive and web design, video and stop motion and still and print art. The multimedia arts and sci ence department looks for an individual with experience in new forms of media when they choose a judge for the annual show, according to Lorraine Walsh, the multimedia arts and sciences department director. "We also like to select some one who we know will be very impartial and fair and look very seriously at each student’s work,” Walsh said. Moorman explores a wide range of media for her own work, according to Walsh. “Our students are working with 2-D, 3-D, video and stop motion, so we really seek some one who is versed in those disci plines,” Walsh said. Moorman’s wide range of experience makes her an excel lent choice for this year’s show, iWalsh said. ng.s ,b f roas lok D )f ma :ct CO )ther is, emo ■ee this injeAfous il"are ter.-nsw “ amok Yet Or ,h,„k Mse feehngs see such m«,v,7 Va and emphasizes i how this arousal’?'
