Inspirational Artists

This 'paint animation' called MUTO was created by BLU animations. Though the style is very rough and abscure, I found that the techique was very similar to how I will be animating my film. Once I have the aniamtion created using a digital software, I will project it onto a slate and trace the frame-by-frame story with pastels and charcoals. Each time I will draw the image onto the slate, it will need to be removed again, similar to how this animation has been created.

A Banksy art piece that displays the modernism of todays food habits but in the style of old cave paintings. I thought this was quite relevant to my project because I am animating something that has survived thousands of years and yet can still be renewed using technology. Though I may not be using the same techniques as the Cave Men used whilst creating their narratives, I can re create it using a mix of digital and traditional methods.

This art installation by couple Andreas Kunert and Naomi Zettl may not be directly a cave painting as such, but I found it very beautiful and inspiring due to the array of colours that were possible to achieve, just through natural found pebbles. The ability to create depth and a narrative structure just through different coloured pebbles is amazing. As I will be doing something similar in the fashion of telling a story using rocks, I thouht that this was very abstract yet helpful to my own ideas.

Though there are no actual known artists of these creations, I felt that looking at Aboriginal Art was very inspiring to my own project, in the sense that both Aboriginal Art and Cave Painting come from a long ancestral background to man, though from different continents of the world, they were both some of the first ways of communicating narratives to one another. What I found interesting about Aboriginal Art was the use of patterns and colour, and also the simplistic design of the animals used in the paintings. The detail goes more into the patterns and colours, rather than the anatomy and realisim of the animal itself. This is something I wish to achieve, but want to avoid the brightness and variety of colours that these paintings use.
