What is the role of handmade / traditional Animation in the digital age? - 250 word Summary

Original paintings are seen as unique through the perspective of people that look on them in real life. However, through the digital age, this experience has been warped through the thousands of copies made from iconic, classic paintings. In the modern day, images and paintings that are perceived as astounding are reproduced and meanings are lost.

Paintings are striking and are a whole image, a lot of the time trying to evoke a sense of scenery, action and emotion. Camera's and companies can reproduce these impactful pieces into meaningless sections of the images. Paintings are broken down into key imagery within the whole painting, to create iconic paintings within the paintings. These sections that are usually cut out of the whole painting can completely change the mood of the painting, and change the focus of the whole image.

Another thing that can effect our perception towards pieces of art is the atmosphere and information surrounding pieces of work. We could be told a distinctive, seemingly important fact about a painting, and that can completely warp the meaning of the image. Sound and presentation is also a factor into how we perceive things. Sombre music could be played over a painting and can switch our sense of emotion. Lighting can also change the paintings mood, as well as the back story behind the painting.
