Animation Subject

1. 2. A little bit of history Beginnings Over the years, historians have found different art samples that attempted to simulate the sensation of movement. Obviously, they were not considered “animation” yet but it was a good start.

2. Beginnings The first attempts of animation in history can be seen in some prehistoric cave paintings . Different drawings of wild animals with superimposed sets of legs of that time have been found. Those drawings give the impression as if the animals were running somehow. However, we can also think that the reason of the unnatural quantity of legs is that they simply wanted to change its position and didn’t have any means of erasing.

3. . . . b eginnings Another early approach to motion in art is the illustration found in a 5,200-year old pottery bowl in Shahr -e Sukhteh , Iran . Its pattern is formed by five images that show the phases of a goat leaping out to nip a tree.

4. Another example is an Egyptian mural found in the tomb of Khnumhotep at the Beni Hassan cemetery . It is approximately 4000 years old . The Mural shows a very long series of images that illustrate a sequence of events in a wrestling match between two men.

5. It is a very curious wall painting due to the fact that Egyptian hieroglyphics and art in general tend to represent very static figures but in the mural we can easily see different poses and postures.
