Title: "The Crow and the Pitcher"

Synopsis: The Crow and the Pitcher is an Aesop’s Fables that tells of a thirsty crow who finds a pitcher with too little water for the crow to reach with its beak and drink. The crow fails to topple over the pitcher to let out the water. It sees a pebble and gets an idea. It begins to put pebble after pebble into the pitcher. Eventually, the water rises to the top so the crow may drink.

Objective: To use graphics, video, and animation to illustrate the ancient observation of Corvidae intelligence while relating an equally ancient story of morals. Audio will provide sound effects and background music. A 3D model of the crow, pitcher and environment will be built.

Audience: The intended audience for this piece would be children from pre-k to elementary school but the content presents many lessons still available to a wider audience, some of which are listed below:


"Thoughtfulness is superior to brute strength.”
"Necessity is the mother of invention.”
“Where there's a will, there's a way.”
“Little by little does the trick.”
Corvidae are the most intelligent birds: they are self-aware and capable of making and using tools to problem solve like humans.
