Homework due 10.20.11

1. Look: Watch "William Kentridge: Anything Is Possible"

Watch the full episode. See more ART:21.

In addition to being a great documentary on Kentridge, there's some excellent footage demonstrating a variety of stop-motion animation techniques:
-gradually assembling torn paper into a cohesive image (singer and the cell phone)
-assembling cut/torn paper into "paper dolls" with hinged limbs
-projecting animations on top of and behind performers
-performing/interacting with video/animation
-using reversal to tear things down and build them up

2. Draw/Write: Come up with three short stop-motion animation ideas. You must have drawings and written notes for each in your sketchbook. Be prepared to present all three to the class.

3. Document: Upload your project to the course YouTube account.

4. *EXTRA CREDIT: Go see the Eve Sussman | Rufus Corporation show at Cristin Tierney Gallery 546 W. 29th Street http://www.rufuscorporation.com/wowpr.htm. Make 2 drawings and write 3+ paragraphs in your sketchbook.
