Question

animation by meredith moore. (1) as technology has become more sophisticated, the effect on the visual arts, like animation, has been significant. (2) animated features have become very popular among adults and children. (3) most television programs designed for children incorporate some animation or are entirely animated. (4) the same is true for movies rated for younger audiences. (5) yet, before animation used computers to create the illusion of movement, artists constructed individual drawings layered on one another to develop stories or moving pictures. (6) called traditional animation, this type of visual art signaled the beginning of motion on film as a way to entertain many people at one time. (7) a simple flip - book of sequential images is the most basic way to explain how animation works. (8) artists draw images with small adjustments in each image that show change or movement. (9) through the progression of the image, a story is told. (10) in traditional animation, the artist was responsible for drawing each image in a sequence by hand, which was incredibly time consuming, to produce a short, simple vignette or episode. (11) animation today can detail the many frames and images that were created for the first animated features. “the first animated film consisted of 700 drawings and took two minutes to watch.” (12) animated films developed into a popular, and profitable, type of entertainment once artists could make copies of images and decrease drawing time. (13) by speeding up the process, longer and more complex films could be made using animation. (14) additionally, new materials, like clay, paper, and felt, could be used in pictures that were then turned into animation. (15) these new tools and methods eventually lead to computer - generated animation, which is more common today. which heading best conveys the content of paragraph 2? a. animation and film b. computers in animation c. drawing in animation d. animation and clay
