Concept for a Final Project

I want to work off of the ideas in my 30-Day-Collection in that with time we grow, everything grows and forms, nothing ever is as it was a hundreds of years or even seconds ago. (ex: The environment of an object changes that changes the object and so on.) Without time nothing would change would be impossible. I want to experiment making an animation similar to the of William Kentridge. I'm very interested in geological time, and drawings of hands. In the animation I want to show something changing with time, obviously, for example: a hand growing, forming, aging, and eventually decaying. I was also interested in, instead, showing the formation of the moon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl1YovaUhgY&NR=1) in this format of animation; draw - capture frame, erasing/redrawing - capture frame...and so on.
