PERSONAL COMMENT

I have found the art side of game design is not what i expected it, i expected it to be similar to high school work but i was wrong i find it alot more exciting and interesting. also i have found new skills that i am in the learning process of more skills because we are using various equipment such as pencil, stick and ink, watercolours, stencil cuts, collages, fine-liner studies and much more.

During the art side of game design i have found the collages difficult because i need to sort pictures of buildings on paper, i think it would of been easier if i could of done it on the computer first seen how it looked then printed the pictures off separately then copied what i have done on the computer.

i enjoyed everything in the course that we have done so far mainly using the craft knife where i had to cut out a stencil of a building the reason why i enjoyed this is because it was fun and challenging at the same time.

Animation Research

Flip Book Animation

A flip book or flick book is a book with a series of pictures that vary gradually from one page to the next, so that when the pages are turned rapidly, the pictures appear to animate by simulating motion or some other change. Flip books are often illustrated books for children, but may also be geared towards adults and employ a series of photographs rather than drawings.

Anime

While the earliest known Japanese animation dates to 1917, and many original Japanese animations were produced in the ensuing decades, the characteristic anime style developed in the 1960s—notably with the work of Osamu Tezuka—and became known outside Japan in the 1980s.

Anime, like manga, has a large audience in Japan and recognition throughout the world. Distributors can release anime via television broadcasts, directly to video, or theatrically, as well as online.

Stop frame animation

Stop motion is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence.

claymation

Clay animation or claymation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable"—made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay.

All traditional animation is produced in a similar fashion, whether done through cel animation or stop motion. Each frame, or still picture, is recorded on film or digital media and then played back in rapid succession.

Flash Animation 

 A Flash animation or Flash cartoon is an animated film which is created using Adobe Flash or similar animation software and often distributed in the .swf file format. The term Flash animation not only refers to the file format but to a certain kind of movement and visual style which, in many circles, is seen as simplistic or unpolished. However, with dozens of Flash animated television series, countless more Flash animated television commercials, and award-winning online shorts in circulation, Flash animation is enjoying a renaissance.

Artists Research

Frank Miller

 Frank Miller was born January 27th 1957 Olney, Maryland, USA. He was a artist and worked in the areas of pencil art and ink he was also a writer, director and a screenwriter. Frank Miller directed various films such as Robocop 1 & 2 and sin city 1 & 2. I like Frank Millers work because the way he draws it makes me feel like it sets the scene without even knowing.

Robert Rauschenberg

 DOB: October 22 1925, Port Auther, Texas, USA

 DOD:May 2008 12 , Captivia, Florida, USA 

 He was essential born as Milton Ernest Rauschenberg, he attended Kansas City Art Institute and the Academie Julian in Paris, France, where he met the painter Susan Weil. I like Robert Rauschenberg's work because the way that he expresses his work is as being bright, colorful.



Banksy

DOB: Unknown

BIRTH PLACE: Unknown

Areas that he works on is; graffiti, street art sculpture

He has his own website: http://www.banksy.co.uk/

 I like Banksy's work because he express' himself by using real-life objects such as walls etc and i like it how he stays unknown alot of the time.

Roy Lichtenstien


DOB: October 27, 1923
Birthplace: Manhattan, New York, U.S.

 Roy Lichtenstien was a prominent American pop artist. During the 1960s, his paintings were exhibited at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City and, along with Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, James Rosenquist, and others he became a leading figure in the new art movement. His work defined the basic premise of pop art better than any other through parody. Favoring the old-fashioned comic strip as subject matter, Lichtenstein produced hard-edged, precise compositions that documented while it parodied often in a tongue-in-cheek humorous manner. I like the work that Roy Lichtenstien did because he inspired me to do my art -work at GCSE level.
