Animation as an art

 

Animation has a long and illustrious history. The earliest forms of anima­tion date back a couple centuries before the advent of film. Its roots come from a desire to tell stories to an audience through the illusion of motion. The motion alone can con­vey more than just narrative. It can convey emotion. When used with characters, animation can bring out much stronger emotions in an audi­ence than a normal film or theatrical performance.

Animation, as an art form can be presented as entertainment, education, information, inspiration showing us the world in such a different way we do not imagine it. In this case, we can look at animators as artists and entertainers as well. They are always striving to give us a new perception of the surrounding environment and always doing it in such a funny and simple way. The power of animators is that they can tell edifying story in way that live action could not. By taking us in a new reality, animation professionals show us animated characters presented as real human beings. We can find a lot of common with them because they are all like us with the entire behavior, attitude and feelings. Thus, we could consider the animation as a mirror, reflection of our own physical and mental evolution. In this way, we can conclude that the development of the animation goes simultaneously with the development of our society. With all the changes in our lives, the massage and the way it is delivered change as well.
