Applied

Arts
Arts Appreciation
are all the arts that apply design and decoration to
everyday and essentially practical objects in order to make
them aesthetically pleasing.
The term is used in distinction to the fine arts, which are
those that produce objects with no practical use, whose
only purpose is to be beautiful or stimulate the intellect in
some way. In practice, the two often overlap. Applied arts
largely overlaps with decorative arts, and the modern
making of applied art is usually called design.
What is Media Arts?

Media Arts is art that is created through use of new media

and technology.
The term media art is used to indicate a certain group of art
works. In general, the term media art is understood to apply to
all forms of time-related art works which are created
by recording sound or visual images.

(including animation, web design,

media arts as “a unique medium of artistic expression that can
amplify and integrate the four traditional art forms by incorporating
the technological advances of the contemporary world with
emerging skill sets available to students and teachers. Media arts
students cultivate both artistic abilities and a technological aptitude.
media arts as “all genres and forms that use electronic media, film
and technology (analog and digital; old and new) as an artistic
medium or a medium to broaden arts appreciation and awareness
of any discipline. This includes projects presented via film,
television, radio, audio, video, the Internet, interactive and mobile
technologies, video games, immersive and multi-platform
storytelling, and satellite streaming.”
 Animation
• is a method in which figures are manipulated
to appear as moving images.
• In traditional animation, images are drawn or
painted by hand on transparent celluloid
sheets to be photographed and exhibited
on film.
• Today, most animations are made
with computer-generated imagery (CGI).

Animation is a simulation of movement created by

a series of illustrations or photographs displayed
in rapid succession. Whereas videography takes
continuous motion and breaks it up into discrete
frames, animation starts with independent
pictures and puts them together to form the
illusion of continuous motion.
 5 types of
Animation
1. TRADITIONAL ANIMATION
2. 2D ANIMATION (VECTOR)
3. 3D ANIMATION
4. STOP MOTION ANIMATION
5. Motion Graphics
(Typography, Animated Logos)
Traditional animation
• The first type of 2D animation might be called
traditional animation or cel animation. I prefer
the term hand-drawn animation because that
define its most important aspect - the fact that
it is drawn by hand.
• This is the classic type of animation you're
probably most familiar with. In the old days,
animators drew characters frame by frame,
and then those drawings were transferred onto
clear acetate sheets called cels for painting.
That's where the term cel animation comes
from.
2D Animation-(Vector-based)

Vector-based animations, meaning

computer generated 2D animations
2D animation using a 2D digital
puppets. These are 2D characters which
are built with a system of bones and
controls that can be manipulated in a
way similar to a 3D character rig.
A character could have bones that let
the animator pose it, but also have other
parts that are animated by hand.
3D computer
animation
• 3D, also referred to as CGI (computer
generated imagery), is the most popular
type of animation for feature
films currently, and it's become
common in TV and short films as well.
• This is also the same type of animation
used to create digital characters for live-
action films and animation for video
games.
Stop Motion Animation
(Claymation, Cut-Outs)
Stop motion has several variants,
but they all involve manipulating
real world objects. These
objects are moved slightly, and
photographed one frame at a
time. When shown in sequence,
these frames create the illusion
of movement.
Types of stop-motion animation:
Claymation
is a similar technique. In it, malleable characters are used, though they're generally made
out of a substance called plasticine, not actual clay.
Puppets
Some animators use regular Puppets instead of clay ones, usually also built with some sort
of skeleton rig. The faces of the characters can be replaced based on the expression, or
controlled within the rig.
Action Figures / Lego
Some use action figures or Lego characters for animation. This genre is very popular
on YouTube with many channels dedicated to creating funny skits with Lego characters.
Robot Chicken is a great example of that. They use famous action figures to make fun of pop
culture.
Cut-out
Another variation of stop motion is paper cut-out animation. In this style, characters are
built out of paper shapes. They might be pinned together at the joints to make a posable
figure, or pieces might be set in place so that they can be swapped out. They are
then moved and photographed frame by frame, just like a stop motion puppet. That's
how South Park was originally animated.
Silhouette
Similar to cutout animation, silhouette animation uses cardboard or some kind of flat
material, but the objects are all black and the shot is depicted with silhouettes only. This is
one of the oldest forms of stop motion and is rarely used today.
Pixelation
is a form of stop motion that uses real people and real environments to create unreal
videos. It uses the stop motion method of taking a still photo, moving things around, and
then taking another photo, but the subject matter is usually real people instead of puppets.
 Motion Graphics
(Typography, Animated
Logos)
The last big category of animation is motion graphics.
Motion graphics focuses on making dynamic and
interesting presentations of moving text logos and
basic illustrations.
Motion graphics can be both 2D and 3D, and you'll
find them everywhere in commercials, explainer
videos, sporting events, the news and other TV
productions.
Proper character animation is generally outside the
scope of motion graphics, but many of the core
animation principles apply to motion graphics too.
is the process of creating websites.
It encompasses several different
aspects, including webpage layout,
content production, and graphic
design.
Interactive Mobile
Applications
You can also provide learners with a digital or online learning
experience using Elearning apps. Learning with Elearning
Mobile Apps is very beneficial to learners as it improves their
academic progress. It has also outperformed time and space
barriers, while allowing educators, learners, parents, and
other family members to stay connected from anywhere in
the world.

Interactive mobile apps are applications designed for mobile

devices, such as smartphones and tablets, that enable users
to engage and interact with the app’s content.
A mobile application, also referred to as a mobile app or simply an app, is a
computer program or software application designed to run on a mobile device such as a
phone, tablet, or watch. Apps were originally intended for productivity assistance such
as email, calendar, and contact databases, but the public demand for apps caused rapid
expansion into other areas such as mobile games, factory automation, GPS
and location-based services, order-tracking, and ticket purchases, so that there are now
millions of apps available. Apps are generally downloaded from application distribution
platforms which are operated by the owner of the mobile operating system, such as
the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store. Some apps are free, and others have a price,
with the profit being split between the application's creator and the distribution platform.
Mobile applications often stand in contrast to desktop applications which are designed to
run on desktop computers, and web applications which run in mobile web
browsers rather than directly on the mobile device.
