Seeking more artists
Added 2022-07-21 20:49:30 +0000 UTCTL;DR, if you know any freelance digital artists who might want to help with with a 3blue1brown project, can you share this application with them?

As I've mentioned in previous posts, the big project for this year will be about Galois, including his incredible life story, the story of those leading up to and following him, and of course a set of lessons on the actual math he worked on.
Part of the reason it's been taking so long is the sheer scope of the plans, which currently include at least 5 videos, and potentially up to 10 depending on whether I choose to factor out the math from the history as separate videos.
The visuals here will be quite a bit different from most 3b1b projects, leaning on a lot of digital artwork depicting the relevant mathematicians and scenes we're covering.
So far Kurt (the new hire for this year) has been shouldering the burden, but the hunger for artwork is voracious enough that it's become a rate-limiting factor, so we'd like to add on another artist or two in the next few months to help finally bring this to fruition. If you know any digital artists available for freelance work, and you think they'd enjoy a project like this, kindly consider sharing the google form linked above with them.
I'm growing increasingly excited to finally share the project with all of you, especially given the truly commendable patience you've shown this year.

Then I want to hit on some of Lagrange's key ideas that set the stage for Abel and Galois. Thereafter, the aim is to convey Galois's key idea associated radical towers with group decompositions, but make it as accessible as possible (i.e. not trying to cover a full semester of group theory plus one more in Galois theory).
