my 5 minute claymation :P only took five minutes to make :D

 This little penguin's adventure of ice fishing is shown in this short claymation. He waddles on screen and goes to his igloo. He emerges with his fishing pole in hand and breaks the ice to cast his reel. he gets his catch and returns to his igloo to eat his meal.    :) cute little penguin!

Thaumatropes

Clay Animation!!!!!!! Amazing!!!! Had so much fun working on this :P

Thaumatropes

Thaumatropes were introduced as simple toys that consisted of a card (a circle of card) and string. A different picture is drawn on both sides and when the card rotates on the string it creates the illusion that the two pictures are together as one picture.

Elements and Principles of Design

Color- Hue

ex.

Value- lightness or darkness of color (tone).

ex.

Balance- opposites balance out (dark vs light; big vs. small)

ex.

Gradation- produce linear perspective   (warm to cool ; dark to light) 

ex.

Repetition- repeats the same design or shape (monotonous) repeat the same design or shape but modifying it slightly makes it interesting.

ex.

Contrast- opposing elements (opposites) 

ex.

Harmony- similar, complimenting elements.
