Essay introduction analysis

Questions and answers.

1. because it is a hybrid art form combining drawing with cinematic apparatus.
and it evolved from comic and cartoons.

2 Donald crafton is Chair of the Department of Film, Television, and Theatre at the University of Notre Dame
and an authour on books about the history of animation. his claim is significant because it says that animation evolved from commercial art afirming the authours point that it started out as low art in his opinion.

3 one of the pioneering animators was winsor mcay who made gertie the dinosaur. he is famous for the popular and beautiful little nemo comic strip and political cartoons. WHich made him a lot of money and his animations were made for that as well. many other animators showed their work in vaudeville.

walter ruttman His work was similar to fantasia animation to classical movement but doesn't try to depict actual things perhaps this is what the author considers is high art.

5 it shows the writers bias towards the later by not even mentioning any cartoonists by name as if they were all the same in fact nothing could be further from the truth and the practitioners were using as much as an individual statement as any high artist. both groups created differnt animations and they didnt know where the medium would go.

6 Its differnt becauae it became popular to show cartoons alongside movies thus they were created for that audience alongside other examples of mass culture, advertising, film, comics etcetera.
