Motion

“All things move, all things run, all things are rapidly changing... On account of the persistency of an image upon the retina, moving objects constantly multiply themselves; their form changes like rapid vibrations, in their mad career... To paint a human figure you must not paint it; you must render the whole of its surrounding atmosphere.”

--Umberto Boccioni, “Technical Manifesto of Futurist Painting,” 1910.

• Actual Motion - Physical motion in which objects change their position over time.

• Kinetic Art - Works of art that are designed to move as part of their composition.

• Implied Motion - Motion that is suggested or implied by the artist rather than by physical movement, such as through tightened muscles in statues, or by the use of diagonal lines.

• Repetitive Imagery - A method of implying motion through repetition of imagery that changes slightly from image to image, such as in a comic book.• Figure Repetition - A method of implying motion or passage of time through showing figures in a series of different positions or situations to tell a narrative.

Examples of Implied Motion

Examples of Implied Motion

• Illusion of Motion - The sense that a static object or work is in the process of moving.

• Multiple Exposures - A method of providing the illusion of motion through the rapid presentation of photo-like sequences of moving objects.• Blurred Outlines - A photographic and artistic technique of blurring the outlines of objects to create the illusion of rapid motion.

Examples of the Illusion of Motion

Time and Motion Design

• You are to create a final design that conveys asense of time and motion.

• Choose a simple idea and brainstorm.Idea examples: a person or animal walking or jumping.It could be something as simplistic as illustrating your book or chair being moved.

• Create 12 thumbnails:• 6 thumbnails for Implied Motion (i.e. repetitive imagery, strong diagonals, comic book-like narrative)• 6 thumbnails for the Illusion of Motion (i.e. multiple

exposures, blurred outlines)• Turn in both the Final Design and the Thumbnails.

Homework

• Work on Final Written Assignment & Presentation.
