EXAMPLES I CHOSE:
I decided to use works of Yan Svankmajer, Tim Burton and animation of Soviet TV company (BИD) as examples for my inspiration and photography project.
The first two creators are famous for their talent at animation. Yan Svankmajer. He did a lot of experiments with forms, meanings and actually style. His works are unusual, surreal, provocative and even could be disgusting. He reflected the real world, emotions people go through.
Whereas Tim Burton's created world is elegant, gothic and like a fairytale. He is a detail-oriented master. Professional. His works are eye-catching and spellbinding. The same as scripts, that are
haunting.
The last example is a screensaver of an old Soviet TV company (80's) that was based on cartoons and shows for children mostly. I am interested in that as part of my culture. Soviet cartoons inspire me a lot, so I decided to research that too.
All that artists influenced me. They raised my view on animation and art.
RESEARCH INFLUENCES ACTIVITY
I do not use any social media but used to. Now I try to find content on YouTube and have more traditional ways how I can follow the artists such as exhibitions, internet articles, Saatchi and Sotheby's sites. I watch old soviet animation, famous animators such Miyazaki, Stephen Hillenburg, Tim Burton, Henry Selic, sometimes go to the cinema to watch new ones. I would like to deep into French animations a Alexandre Alexeef, Rene Laloux, Michel Ocelot and Sylvain Chomet.
My inspiration is Stephen Hillenburg ('Sponge Bob SquarePants'), Jankovics Marcell ('Sisyphus'), Yan Shvankmajer ('Food'), Souzmultfilm ('Junior and Karlson'), Henry Selick ('Caroline').
They inspire because of their unique style and ideas.
After Stefan showed us a Padlet with electronic journal weblinks I started to read some platforms about animation: https://showmetheanimation.com, https://www.animationmagazine.net .
THAT IS MY RESPONSE TO 3 ARTISTS I CHOSE:
THE ONLY THING I WANT TO SAY ABOUT THAT TASK IT WAS FUN :)))))
SUSTAINABILITY
That image means sustainability to me. It is symbolic. It reflects the main point. Everything is in our hands. We can influence the future of the world.
BLOG REFLECTION AND WHAT I WANT TO DO NEXT:
I want to continue researching and go into the actual themes. I need to explore artists in my pathway. I also would like to start finding related works before creating something new.
