Tyler Rhodes, a student in the animation program at Virginia Commonwealth University, wanted to create an evolution animation that wasn?t simply linear, but instead represented the true ?tree-like? process. So he enlisted the help of elementary school students and involved them in a type of game. They made sketches based on one original sketch, and allowed the resulting diversity to dictate survival of the fittest to future generations. For a detailed explanation of the process, see Carin Bondar?s post.
