IOLW04_S2_(2019)-in class exercise

1) Pick 3-5 different movements of your own body (they could be anything from a sneeze to a jump to a strange wringing of your hand)

2) Create simple animated machines made from shapes and lines to enact these movements.

3)Animate these movements in 3-5 separate experiments

4) Experiment with one of these animations or combine aspects of each to explore the use of many different colour schemes to evoke a different experience for the animations.

5)document your intentions and subsequent ideation for the pieces.

My three movements are "yawn", "sigh" and “greet”. The first one I tried to use squares to show the movement of my arm when yawning, and the biggest square represent my body. The second one I used some points to represent fingers touching table which looks like thinking of something and then sighed. The greeting movement mainly show the hand waving and a little bit walking toward left. By creating these movements I found that even just some simple movements there are still many different ways of representing. Sometimes could be abstract and this quality of abstraction can give a much different experience and outcome compair to the realistic picturing. I kind of interested in the way of making things become abstract and translate the form to another dimension thus could see some surprising results.
