Young Charlotte, Filmmaker

(3) K-3 Inspired by her visit to the MoMA film department, Charlotte embraces her love of black and white and creates a film (black-and-white, of course) featuring her humorously vain, lackadaisical tomcat, Smudge. Through the artistic process, Charlotte's risk-taking is rewarded and her perspectives open and shift. Viva's stylized retro illustrations mostly follow Charlotte's taste in palette; abstractly drawn figures provide connections to modern art.
