Outside of Class Animations

Good Morning!

In 20 frames or less you could animate just about anything from your daily routine. Maybe you would have everyone partner up and animate one thing from their morning routine, ex. alarm clock, brushing teeth, eating cereal, drinking oj, and make sure everyone does something different. In the end you could put all of the animations together to create one single morning.

The problem with that idea is that it cannot be done in the classroom. The animation can, but the picture taking will be difficult. Every student doesnt have a digital camera to themselves, or someone they are comfortable working with outside of class.

It could be possible to bring in the items like a toothbrush, toothpaste, spoon, bowl, cereal, milk, alarm clock, ex. and be able to set up the scene in the class room.

Digital Collage

Digital collages are a great way to use the infinite amount of images available on the internet in a productive, and creative way. This would be a great basis for a lesson plan. The use and exposure of images on the internet are a huge part of our culture. It would be interesting to see how students would use the images to create something original.
ANIMATION:
The animation will involve my character getting tangled up by his pet, falling over, and then falling apart.

New Media Art Book

The "One Year Performance" piece was rather hilarious. It just proves that we cannot trust what we see in the media. It really is just like any reality show. It claims to be just real life when we all know it is far from it, we just think its entertaining.
