Animation and the Real (Contextual Studies)





Mimesis means its a mirror image (an exact copy). For example the Myron's Discus Thrower.
The statue looks real because of the muscle tone that has been shown and the way the statue is posed like any other human would be able to portray. Even tho I agree this is a very good interpratashion of a man, I believe that there are a few things that are not realistic, like the background there isn't anything there and there is no skin colour.


Linear Perspective made paintings more realistic. For example Andrea Mantegna Lamentation of the Dead Christ. The technique that has been used in this painting is Foreshortening.

Early C.G.I. films like Tron were mostly developed by computers, the only thing that looked realistic was the people in it and even they looked animated now and then.
