ANIMATION AND PERSPECTIVE

TODAY YOU ALL HAVE TWO SPECIFIC ASSIGNMENTS. THE MURAL AND SKETCHBOOK PROJECTS WE ARE GOING TO PUT ON HOLD IN TODAY'S CLASS BECAUSE OUR ANIMATION DESPERATELY NEEDS OUR HELP - IT HAS BEEN NEGLECTED.

Observe the image above. The original drawings done for the animation did not have sonic actually moving. Each panel didn't show enough change. Today, tracing using tracing paper or the two lightboxes provided, I'd like you all to trace or draw the 10 figures above. However, draw them in your STYLE.

We have talked abvout personal style in this class before. Think abstractly about how you'd like to depict your figures. Do you want your lines bold, rigid and straight? Or delicate, graveful and curvey? Do you use tons of lines and/or scribbles? The idea for our animation is to have the figure be the SAME figuratively, but change drastically in style.

Next Assignment: Fill in the text for this series of perspective drawings. When finished, practice doing perspective drawings in your notebooks and/or storybooks using this page as an example.
