Animals ITP NYU

Ruby the Elephant Research Links

assignment 4 of Animals, People, and Those in Between.


You will:
a. Research a real animal
c. create a storyboard or a short piece about the character

I decided to choose Ruby the Elephant, who used to live at the Phoenix Zoo and became famous because she painted canvas that sometimes sold for thousands of dollars.Â  I have many fond memories of her from my childhood in Arizona.Â  I remember my parents had a print of one of Ruby’s paintings in their office.

Here is a list of links about Ruby.Â  I’ll make sense of everything and decide what I will do for the project later 😉
