Math Inquiry: The Math and Appeal Behind Animations
(Not all animations of pictures entering are supported on PowerPoint Online)
I started this inquiry with the question: How does Math affect Animations? But then as I was working, my project slowly changed into the appeal of an animation (Mostly 2D Animations). So from there, I worked my project around the 12 Principles of Animation by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. From there, I was able to pinpoint math concepts within three of the 12 principles.
My curiosity continued during this project which made me think:
Why do we find human like components appealing?
and
Is it possible to create something appealing without doing math?
With this, I think that I can go further and start finding out what other things we as humans find appealing. I found other presentation that people made about Phi and found that interesting. I was able to see how a number like Phi is used in so many ways to make something seem ‘pretty’. I will also be able to look into abstract art and see if there are any math concepts to be found within the work of art.
