Scratch can be used to create simple animations by putting pictures together on a background and adding sprites. Sprites can be programmed to move, react to each other, change costumes, hide from or chase the mouse, and respond to keyboard controls. More complex animations and interactive stories can be built up by adding sounds, scrolling backgrounds, and multiplayer gameplay. Students demonstrate a variety of games and animations created with Scratch, including fighting, chasing, football, and games with twists on familiar concepts.

Rilo Kiley is an American indie rock band formed in 1998. Although they are a full band, the song being discussed primarily features one lead vocalist. The document discusses finding similar artists to Rilo Kiley within the indie pop genre to inspire their music video. Corrine Bailey Rae is discussed as having a similar happy, upbeat sound and innocent public persona attracting young female fans. The Watson Twins and The Elected are also mentioned as having comparable alternative country/indie folk and indie rock sounds while also featuring relationships and love as common topics. Researching these artists has helped inform the style of the video, packaging, and public image being developed.
A group of students and faculty at Dawson College in Montreal were invited to respond creatively to images of antique Anatolian rugs from the collection of the Montreal Oriental Rug Society. Their responses were featured in an exhibition and catalog. Two cinema students created a documentary interviewing a rug dealer. A literature student wrote about the "Holbein motif" seen on the catalog cover rug, tracing its origins and depictions in Renaissance paintings. The rug motif represented the rise of trade and capital in Europe that fueled Renaissance achievements.
