Art Of Animation
The visual art of filmmaking is from a succession of still drawings called animation- from the Latin word, animate, to breathe life. While digital video technology dominates animation from the 21st century, the creative skill of cartoon artists and graphic designers is still a crucial part of the process. The animation team of the twenty-first century comprises J. Stuart Blackton, George McManus, Max Fleischer, Walt Disney, and DreamWorks. Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Donald Duck, Jungle Book, Simpsons, Shrek, and Anime are famous animated cartoons.
Why is animation one of the twentieth century's most important forms of art?
Animation is world-famous, yet if we are honest, it is underrated. How much people like animation is clear to see. Animated films are extremely popular internationally. These are frequently the first movies we enjoy as kids and introduce us to emblematic characters such as Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, and so many more.
Although these films and cartoons have a particular place in our hearts, we frequently ignore the purely artistic and technical skills in animation creation. These animated classics are not just wonders of art when viewed as their whole. Each animated video consists of several thousand masterpieces that screw around a second in 24 frames. Animation exists also as a medium fully driven by artists. Some of the most important artists of the last century have worked either in animation or have been inspired by animation art.
Here are two instances that will provide a context of the impact of animation on the modern art world:-
1). Salvador Dali Met Walt Disney
Legendary Spanish artist Salvador Dalí, who is considered one of the surrealist inventors, discovered a sibling in one of the founders of animation when he first came to the United States."I have come to Hollywood and I have got in touch with three great American Surrealists—The Marx Brotherhood, Cecil B. DeMille, and Walt Disney," Dalí writes in 1937 in a letter to André Breton the inventor of the Surrealistic manifestation. If someone disputes the legitimacy of animation as an art form, remember that Dalí, one of the most prominent 20th century fine artists considered the animation of Disney to be aligned with his own creative efforts. Disney also appreciated the work of Dalí and chose to cooperate on a project after meeting at a Hollywood party in 1944.
The Dalí-Disney relationship led to the short animated movie "Destino." Dalí created 22 paintings, more than 135 storyboards, drawings, and sketches for the project, with the legendary animator John Hench, which was referred to as a "wonderful display on the dilemma of existence in the maze of time."
2)Patric Guyton Met Chuck Jones
One of the most fascinating young painters who work till today, Patrick Guyton. His work mixes several elements of Japanese gold-blading, classic Flamenco glazing techniques but his animation experience is one of the most important impacts on his artistic approach. He became a business artist, although Guyton was able to work as a backdrop painter for Chuck Jones in 1997. He was a business artist.
While you must not be familiar with Patric Guyton’s name, you probably know the work of Jones. He is responsible for some of the best-known cartoons of all time, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. In animation and contemporary popular culture, he is a powerhouse. Jones is often mentioned as an inspiration by Hollywood legends like George Lucas or Steven Spielberg. However, Chuck Jones is most known for designing several iconic cartoon figures including the Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, Elmer Fudd, Pepé Le Pew, Marvin the Martian, Michigan J. Frog, and many more.
In the meantime, Guyton left the animation profession to start his career as a fine artist, but he never forgets the lessons he received from some of the greatest geniuses of the animated Golden Age. The backdrop art, design, hand-painted production reels, and the final animation are all aspects of the production of an animated film, as such, a work of art in itself.
Next time you see a classical Disney film or rewatch your childhood favourite cartoon, the perfect time for a Chuck Jones humor or James Coleman's bright background, take a moment to appreciate the beauty behind what you are witnessing. Perhaps in every context, you might not perceive the technical brilliance, but you can clearly say that artists, who love what they do, have made their mark during the period of our childhood lives.
Animation art is most important in today’s era because it makes us be able to tell stories and communicate emotions and ideas in a unique, easy-to-perceive way that both small children and adults can understand. Animation has helped connect people throughout the world in a way that sometimes writing and live-action films cannot.
