In my groups stop motion video it is about a person that has trouble with getting out a carrot, and then in the end he finds out he needs  help so him and his friends help each other and they each share the carrot with each other.

Diamond Lake

Date:

1969

Medium:

Synthetic polymer paint on canvas

Dimensions:

9' 1/4" x 14' 1/4" (274.8 x 427.3 cm)

What I liked about this painting was i love the effect of watercolour because it gives your art work a bit of a nice washed out feel to it.

William T. Williams (American, born 1942)

Elbert Jackson L.A.M.F. Part II

Date:

1969

Medium:

Synthetic polymer paint and metallic paint on canvas

Dimensions:

9' 7 1/4" x 9' 1 7/8" (292.7 X 279.1 cm)

In this painting I loved the colour blocking look because it looks like you have a painting that all the colours work together and don't look like random colours put together, all the colours in this work together.

Andy Warhol(American, 1928–1987)

Ten-Foot Flowers

Date:

1967

Medium:

Silkscreen ink on synthetic polymer paint on canvas

Dimensions:

9' 7" x 9' 7" (292.2 x 292.2 cm)

I really liked the look of this one because it reminds me of the paintings that we just did where we had only one colour to use but we could make different shads of the colour, but i really like the style of black and a accent colour.

Squash and Stretch:
This is what gives the stop motion the weight because because its like a bouncing ball moving into a person walking, this is the important  element that you will need to do a stop motion.

Anticipation: This is a motion that is able to help you make the person move like jumping off the ground, running. so this motion is for helping your motion move.

Staging: this helps by getting different shots of the object you are taking pictures of like long, medium, or close up shots of the object.

Straight ahead and pose to pose animation: with pose to pose you can lose size,volume, and proportion with this method.

History:
The invention of the thaumatrope, whose name means "turning marvel" or "wonder turner," has often been credited to the astronomer Sir John Herschel.  However, it was a well-known London physicist, Dr. John A. Paris, who made this toy popular.  Thaumatropes were the first of many optical toys, simple devices that continued to provide animated entertainment until the development of modern cinema.

How it works:
A thaumatrope is a small disc, held on opposite sides of its circumference by pieces of string.  An image is drawn on each side of the disc, and is selected in such a way that when the disc is spun, the two images appear to become superimposed. 

Its cool because it makes our eyes look like we are just looking at a picture but for us it look like a video to us but its a picture.

GULP

I was very surprised by how long it took them to make "GULP". It was an amazing short film, I got to see how much computers and technology they have to us to make the film. It looks like a short film to us but if you listen really closely you can see that it takes a lot of hands to make the film be as great as it could be. I really enjoyed the film and it was really great to watch,

Chess piece

In my chess piece I have made it realistic by adding a lot of details/value to my chess piece and adding lots of shading to the background as well as detail. I have also added the value to the background, like how I have added a dark and light to my chevron print to not make it look like it is no supposed to be there and not make it look like its just one flat print.

I have put pattern in my background by making the chevron print go in two directions with the shading, with my pencil. For rhythm I have put my dark lines going the opposite way from each other because I think it adds more than just seeing the same pattern going the same way over and over.

 Movement I have made my lines go different direction from each other than them going the same way to not look like  its is a flat image. In my art piece I have used the gradient scale to add to my chevron print that I have done to not make it look like it is just going to be flat because that would just make it look very plain with only value to the chess piece.

 I chose to place my chess piece not in the middle because mostly when you are working on art we mostly place it in the middle and that can just be a little boring. So I have placed my chess piece off to the left side because it makes you look from one side of the page to another (left to right).

 I made my chess piece the focal point by adding a little bit of an outline to the chess piece drawing and making the shading a little more harsh than the background.
