Computer Art Lessons
Are TV shows and movies made with computer animation a positive influence for children?
They are not from my perspective.
I began drawing at a very early age inspired by cartoons and animated movies. The backgrounds on the movie Beauty and the Beast made me want to take oil painting lessons. The movie the Lion King made look for animal picture books, it made me visit the zoo, so I could draw animals.
It was cartoons that made me want to learn how to draw faces, hands and feet. It was cartoon that gave me ideas on what to draw over and over again.
Today there are too many computer animated movies and TV shows. Even the cartoons don’t have much art behind them. Cartoons such as Phineas and Ferb are made heavily relying on computers. I can tell the backgrounds are done with computers, there’s no art behind them. The characters’ animation rely heavily on Flash animation, the art is just not there.
Cartoons used to inspire kids to draw,
What positive thing is coming from computer animation?
No art? I think your view of art is too limited. There isn’t a person in the world who wouldn’t believe that the gorgeous landscapes created in the pixar studios are not art. They are indeed art. Art of the highest caliber. And like all art, art is changing. Computers are just the new brushes used by artists. The old cartoons, drawn by warner brothers and other American cartoon studios were no greater art then the stuff you find on cartoon network today. it’s just different. It takes an artists a long time to render digital art. I know some people think that rendering is automatic, but that’s just not the case. Of course they have time saving tricks that they use, just like any artists. (American studios used to export the in between frames to other countries to get them done faster. Some still do)
Don’t let yourself get stuck in one frame of mind as to what art is. Expand your mind and open up to new possibilities. You will be pleasantly surprised.
