I don’t think I’ve ever done a summer assignment near the beginning of summer vacation; I always do it like two weeks before school starts (Also see procrastination). Also, my mom bought a keyboard (piano keyboard, not computer keyboard) on Friday, and since then, I’ve been learning piano-related stuff from the internet. Hooray for the internet!
Well, today was the final day of the art class. In the morning class, we got to finish our comics and make cover pages and stuff. I decided to title my comic “Yarrr” because it’s an awesome title. Then, we did some more figure drawings!
In the afternoon class, some people finished their animations, and we burned them onto CDs. We also watched the other class’ animations. At 2:30, parents came over to look at our artwork posted on the walls and stuff, and then we went downstairs to screen our animations. I think it was the first time one of my animations was screened in front of an audience, so that was pretty nice. At 4PM, we all went back upstairs to get our artwork to take home. And then there was cake. Oh yes, cake. But no forks.
It’s kinda hard to believe how much has changed in the course of only two weeks, and that it went by so quickly. Overall, the class was pretty fun; I enjoyed doing the class activities and even the homework. The flash stuff I picked up is really going to help improve the quality of the flashes I make in the future. If real school were anything like this, it would be a thousand times better. Yep, good times. I’m definitely gonna miss the class. And now I have two weeks to look forward to before school starts again.
In today’s morning class, we had an activity where we had to interview a partner about their family and draw a picture and ink it. I’d scan it, but I don’t have it with me, because my partner liked it and wanted to keep it. After that, we got to work on our comics. I finished inking two pages in class, and finished the rest at home. I still have to erase some of the pencil marks and make a title page, but I’ll have time to do that tomorrow in class. My sharpie started losing its… uhh… inkiness after a few pages, so the outlines for the later pages seem a bit lighter.
In the afternoon class, I got about half of the “Matrix-dodge” animation done, and since tomorrow’s the last day we get to work on these in class, I did the rest of it at home. I also kinda started coloring, but most of that will probably be done tomorrow. The plan here is to have the bullet hit a tree branch, causing the cat and mouse to fall. Unnamed Character will jump to save the animals, but they end up falling on top of her and running off into the distance.
We also had a guest speaker: Max Porter from an animation company called Tiny Inventions. He showed us some of his animations and talked about his career and some projects of his. He is attempting to create a childrens’ TV show, and showed us an example of one of the possible episodes. The cool thing is, if it does eventually appear on TV, I can be like “Oh, I knew about that show before it even came out” and stuff. Yeah, it was pretty cool.
