Narrative 2: Animation
Drawing Practice
In Animation, we practice sketching and drawing from observation, in other words, life drawings. This unit, we also practiced perspective drawings. We practiced doing life paintings with watercolor and learned how to create one point, 2 point, and 3 point perspectives. At the beginning, we learned about Notan and Chiaroscuro drawings. Notan is where you focus on the light vs dark of the drawing while Chiaroscuro focuses on the shapes and patterns which you see.

LorenC-NCSMaya
For maya, we first began to learn how to animate by creating a personality walk cycle. I wanted to portray a shy and timid child.
Action Reaction
In animation, we create another exquisite corpse like video where something falls from a whole, interacts with out character, and then the character throws it out somewhere. To do this, we modeled and animated in the 3D animation program MAYA. These are some shots of my project.
