History of zoetrope

A zoetrope is one of several pre‑film animation devices that produce the illusion of motion by displaying a sequence of drawings or photographs showing progressive phases of that motion.. We had to make one of these by drawing 12 images 6 of these must be a continuous image moving then the other 6 have to be identical this is to give the illusion of continuous movement. The zoetrope is one of several animation toys which were invented in the
19th century, as people experimented with ways to make moving pictures.  
The zoetrope appeared first in England in 1834, then France in 1860 and
finally the United States in 1867. The "Daedatelum" was invented by William 
George Horner in 1834 and renamed "Zoetrope" by French inventor, Pierre Desvignes. In "zoetrope" you might recognize the root word "zoo" from a Greek word meaning animal or life. "Trope" is also from Greek and refers to things that turn.

Freedom 63

I have moved onto my 63 pages after i have done a little image research... The 63 pages are made up of 10cm x 10cm pieces of different materials from wallpaper to card with things such as newspapar, black paper, brown paper and sugar paper, this was to add variety to our work, we also have to use a range of medias so we can show what we have learned over the past few months... I began my 63 sheets looking into birds and flight, escaping the cage to fly free but then i moved into figure heads such as Mahatma Ghandi, Martin Luther King jr and Buddah. After i looked at buddah i looked at religion and how people turn to or from religion, the thing i found most people turned to religion from was mental health problems so i began looking how people feel trapped within themselves and how they can escape their own minds to be free from the darkness holding them back.

Freedom

You The first briefing we had was on what the assignment was about, we discovered that our chosen word was freedom and that we had to write what we were hoping to achieve out of this, e.g. Writing our own project brief, saying that we hope to complete the entire 63 10cm by 10cm peices of different papers (there are 63 as thats how many chapters the magna charter has) we also had to state whether we would accomplish any other sheets and a final piece as well. I began by looking on pinterest and tumblr for images to do with freedom in general but then behan looking into mental health and religion as i found these were the two things i found either intriguing or easiest to connect to... I also looked into dark art as i thought it expresses depression rather well.
