Imaginative Arts:


This week we are making flip book animations. Sister Fontano gave you supplies last week. I will attach a few videos to watch about animation and flip books. Have fun with it this week. You should have enough sheets to create a couple seconds worth of animation. Typical movies - both live action and animated - are filmed and shown at 24 frames per second. This means that every second of a movie you see 24 different still images. For a live action movie the camera takes 24 photographs in a second. Those images don't actually move, but when we view them quickly- 24 of them each second- our brain recognizes the difference between the pictures as movement. This is why we call them "Motion Pictures" or  "MOVIES" - because they look like they are "MOVING". For an animated movie the pictures are drawn and photographed instead of photographing live actors. This means that an animated movie like The Princess and The Frog from 2009 (Disney's last hand drawn animated film)  which was 93 minutes long- is made up of over 133,920 drawings.  So if you draw 50 pictures for your flip book it will be just a few seconds worth of a story. 

With that in mind we aren't trying to tell a huge story. You don't have that much time. For your flip book consider making a ball move around the page, or a stick fall over or a face blink and smile- something simple. Small adjustments will make your drawings "move" slowly. Big adjustments will make them "move" faster.

 You will see in the videos linked below that the artist uses a light board to help him see his previous drawings underneath the page he is drawing on. If you don't have a light board you can try drawing on a window on a sunny day. Notecards might be hard to see through. If you can't see through them it's okay, do your best and have fun with it.
