Period 6 - Final Exam

1.       My favorite animated film is Big hero 6.

2.       Big Hero 6 is my favorite film because the storyline is incredible. The story is funny, yet saddening and plays with the audience’s feelings. The audience is able to connect with the story. For example, the death of the protagonist’s brother Tadashi. I also enjoyed the film because of the superb drawings and vibrant colors. I also love the characters in this film. The personalities of the different characters balance out the whole film.

3.        Our teacher’s favorite animated series is Peanuts.

4.        On Mr. Farley’s post from January 12th of this year, he stated “I loved Peanuts when I was the age that my children are now. I still enjoy reading the comic strip and watching the animated programs.”

6.       My best work this year was the last animation. I have learned a lot about the software, so my animation, The Lunny, reflects most of what I have learned this year. My animation has a lot of color and the setting is very detailed.

7.       My last animation is called The Lunny. It is about an animal that is part lion and part bunny. At school, he was always made fun of for being different so he stopped going to school. Lonely, sad, and depressed, he died by himself. THE END.

Animated Frog Jumping

This is an animation of a frog jumping on a lily pad!

I deserve a 3 in the Brushwork and Fills category because the whole entire animation is colored and is not white. The color of the frog and background is consistent throughout the whole animation. I also deserve a 3 in the Frame Sequencing category because the action of the frog jumping is smooth and not too choppy. I deserve a 3 in the background category because I drew in a background instead of just putting a random color in as a background. The background is consistent for the entire duration of the animation.

Wonder Woman Logo - Balance

The Wonder Woman logo demonstrates the first principle of design.There is a distribution of visual weight and space throughout the logo. The elements are balanced and allow the logo feel stable. The logo feels stable because the letters' size and depth are constant throughout the logo.This is an example of an asymmetrical balance because even though the sides are different, it still looks balanced.The logo is an example of an asymmetrical balance because if you cut the logo in half, both sides are different.

Animate Key Frame Frog

1. I used action script 3.0.
2. I chose to use action script 3.0 because action script 3.0 is newer than action script 2.0. Action script 3.0 is an upgraded version of action script 2.0.
3. I copied the photo from the website and pasted it onto flash and fixed the dimensions to fit the stage. Here are 2 examples of my work.
















4. Richard Williams hand drew his animations and worked on the films The Pink Panther and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
5. I researched him on the Google search engine.
6. The stage was 550 by 400 when I opened it.
7. I used Adobe Flash because it is the only software on our computer that can animate.
8. I used 4 layers including the copied picture from the internet. After I finished tracing the frog I deleted the layer with the copied picture. The second layer is for the frog itself. The next layer is for the background water and the last layer is for the lily pad.
9. For the background, I made most of it blue so that it would look like water. I also drew in a lily pad so that the frog would have something to jump on.
10. We created a frog because it has online instructions for us to learn from.
11. I clicked file then export then export image and then saved it.
12. I created 35 frames.

Privacy and Vulnerability

Amity's story

     The photographer adjusted his camera lens and then continued to snap pictures as Amity posed for the camera. "Last one...And that's a wrap!" the photographer said cheerfully. Amity walked off the set and thanked the staff. She was extremely delighted that her first photo shoot went so smoothly. After all, she was studying towards an modeling degree. As she walked towards the photographer to thank him, she saw a label on the camera with the name Joshua Crowe on it. "Why would the name Joshua be on the camera?" Amity wondered. She remembered that the photographers name was Jack. She continued to wonder about the strange incident as she walked towards her car. Suddenly a hand clamped over her mouth and then all she saw was darkness.

Walking Animation 2

Here is the second version of my walking animation!

Walking Animation

Here is a walking animation based off of my classmate Stella!

Period 6 Semester Final

1) I believe I deserve 100% on the Elements of Art project. I spent lots of time and effort to produce each one of the drawings. A clear description is written for each element of art. The drawings focus on each element of art.

2) I believe I deserve 100% on the Principles of Design project, no more and no less. Each drawing is full of color to capture the attention of the viewer. Each drawing is proportional and balanced. A lot of time is spent to create the principles of design.

3) Alice's Wonderland was a part of the Alice Comedies which were a series of shorts. The Alice comedies was unique because there was a real live character in an animated world.

4) In 1928, Steamboat Willie was released. This was important because it introduced Mickey Mouse, the mascot of Walt Disney.

5)In 1932, Flowers and Trees was release by Walt Disney, This animation was unique because it was the first colored film.

6) Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was released in 1937. This was the first full-length cel-animated feature film released.

7) Pinocchio was released on February 23, 1940.

Principles of Design

Principles of Design

Balance is used to make a design feel more stable. It is the distribution of color, space, texture, and the visual weight of an object.

Emphasis is a part of a design that grabs the onlooker's attention. The artist would make one area stand out by making it different in size, texture, shape, or color.

Movement is the route the viewer's eye takes when looking at a work of art.

Patten is a design that has a repeating object or symbol.

Repetition is similar to pattern and works with pattern, but is used to make the piece of art seem active.

Proportion creates unity within a piece of art. The feeling of unity is created when all parts (size or amount) relates with each other.

Rhythm is one or more elements of design used repeatedly to create an organized feeling.

Variety is used to grab the viewer's attention by using multiple elements of design.

Unity creates harmony and a sense of completeness between all the parts of a work of art.

Elements of Art

Elements of Art

A line is a mark that can be drawn in all directions. Lines are the main components of art.

A shape is a closed line that expresses length and width.

Forms are three dimensional shapes that express length, width, and height.

Space is the unoccupied area between and around objects.

Color is the light that is reflected off objects.

Texture is the roughness, smoothness, softness, or roughness that can be seen or felt on a surface.
