Animation Is the Rapid Display of a Sequence of Images of 2-D Or 3-D Artwork Or Model Positions

Animation Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. It is rather a film technique than a specific genre. History Overview Animation was originally created through quickly flipping sheets with series of hand drawn pictures. The history of Animation started back in 180 A.D. in China with zoetrope, which eventually evolved into thaumatrope, then the flip book. Today, computers can be used to create animations. Animations in the 1900s were stereotypically made for children. Today, as more animation films being developed, the target audience has widened to young and older adults as they begin to admire the genre of animation. Subgenres
