Animation.

In today's lesson, we looked at a timeline of animation throughout the ages, and how much it's changed over the years.
For instance, animation started out as simple moving images, created by taking lots of pictures of an object and editing them all together.
Then, it started to get more advanced, and film companies started to create films and cartoons, such as Felix the Cat, Donald Duck and Betty Boop.

The main founder of cartoons, Warner Brothers, was created, and more and more animations were invented. Mickey Mouse became an icon.
This was the beginning of something big, as Warner is one of the most well known companies in the world. Many films today have taken inspiration from the early stages of cartoons from Warner, thanks to the early animations.
Animation got more advanced, allowing feature films like Cinderella and Lion King to be created.

The use of CGI became more advanced, so films like Jurassic Park hit the big screen.
Claymation was also a popular choice of animation, for shows such as Wallace and Grommit.

As part of our task today, we had to draw ourselves as portraits on film strips, and what helped represent us.
As an example, i drew myself with red hair, holding a concert ticket, because it's what i love.
