IDM UNIT VI ANIMATION  GOAL To understand and experiment with animation techniques. DISCUSSION Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in a number of ways. The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although several other forms of presenting animation also exist. --definition from Wikipedia ARTISTS / CULTURES Walter Lantz, William McCay, Walt Disney, R.
