For a third year we have commissioned artist Matthew Wigdahl to create a motion graphic for this project. Not only has Mr. Wigdahl created a stunning motion graphic, but he has also included a folder of gifs that are found in the video as well as a Google Slide Deck with those graphics allowing educators to use these images to further study the poem. We are grateful to Mr. Wigdahl for his artistry and imagination!
