2D Animation ...My last thoughts.

 The end is near... NEMISA- 8 week training programme...WOW, I cant believe its actually over. Throughout the past 2 months, a lot has happened. A lot of life changing experiences, a lot of challenges and a lot of...well...AWESOMENESS!😂 The work is divided into 4 categories or perhaps...4 classes. -Film Appreciation -Drawing -Digital Literacy -2D Animation Each one of those classes had their own challenges and I of course thoroughly enjoyed animation and some aspects of drawing. Film appreciation was actually pretty interesting. I found it overwhelming and yet intriguing as to how we had to dissect hidden meanings and aspects of a movie. Digital literacy was general computer knowledge infused with complex approaches. I met a lot of creatives...it was comforting to be around so many weirdos because I finally felt at home.😂 The instructors and teachers are genuinely kind people, willing to guide us not only with school work but also life in general. All in all...the experience has ...

My thoughts on The Dream Speech, because why not?

The Dream Speech... We were advised to do it in the same format as Martin Luther King did...Which is okay, but it kind if derived us from the purpose/ concept of our actual dreams as we didn't have the option to talk about all the struggles that brought us to the ideal of achieving our dreams in the first place...and I personally believed that it was something that didnt really need to be written, but spoken about because its something that comes directly from us... I think that is what made us make a lot of mistakes regarding that.

2D Animation Week 8

So on this week we had a pretty heated discussion on gender equality on Monday. We were given sheets of paper concerning that topic.  Then we did conceptual drawing with Mr Mark and it was actually pretty good. We were told to drawn from the ideas that were presented and we did just that...It came out really good. On the other days, we learned more about digital literacy and the animation principles...as well as storyboarding and script writing. We also did more on the ice cream thing on adobe illustrator and that was about it. It was pretty fun to showcase our ideas and freely express our imaginatio together as a class...which was honestly really cool... but other than that, we didnt really do much, we just had a lot of work to complete. CURRRRRRRSIIIIIIVE!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 -Tia Kekana

My Dream

 My dream I was doing my work in class, and then it was time to leave, on my way out, I oddly danced in the hallways like that one scene from the joker😂😂😂😂. I was the only one at school, except for 3 people but I couldn't make out their faces. Then I got on the bus and when I was close to my destination, I put my cellphone in my bag, and then I got off... at Limpopo, near my home. I got off and walked slowly to my house, there were clear skies and sunshine, then the alarm went off...for real...My alarm rang and I woke up to get ready for school. - Tia Kekana

2D Animation Week 7

 Week 7.....Freakin horrible/ Challenging... We started the week by watching a documentary about Dreams and how important they are...as well as how they affect our lives on a daily basis. Then we were given the task to write about our own dreams. I forgot my dreams half the time but i remembered a recent on last night, I'LL mention it on the other blog.  We also did the upside down drawing in Mr Marks class...it was supposed to challenge the analytical side of our brain. It was not fun at all😂😂but completed it nonetheless. On Friday we did the film appreciation test and it was actually okay...WHY AM I SO CALM ABOUT THAT????😂😂😂 Anyway,crazy week... but challenging as well, which is really good. -Tia Kekana.

2D Animation week 6

 Hey Guys!!! First of all...I was able to finish my cursive...YAAAY!😅It sure wasnt easy though but I did it. This week wasnt a normal school week per say... first of all, we went to an animation conference meeting thing...which wasnt really bad, they offered us some drinks and snacks and were given very valuable information...however,it was increasingly hard/ tough to sit through it all because WE WERE HUNGRYYYYY!!!!😭😭We were told that it was going to take only 2 hours but it took like 4 hours...and plus the travelling, we basically took the entire day. We immediately  made food and ate after coming back...But overall, it was really kind of our teachers to make that trip for us, especially our class teacher. Throughout the rest of the week, we mainly did character expressions/ posture drawing with Mr Mark...and another dose of digital literacy with Mr Kuben. OH and I was able to finish my Pendulum swing aaaaaaaand my Pizzaaa!!!!! and we capped off the week by watching a mov...

Tia Kekana- 2D Animation week 5

 Hey Creatives!!! Back here with another update of the 2D animation boot camp!!!Yaaaaaaaay😂... So week 5 was basically 2 days because we were given a break for the rest of the week. Regardless...we still did quite a lot, we had to finish our pendulum swing and our cursive worksheets😭😭😭. We were given morem because it was basically a 7 day free school week thing....So yeah, fun stuff. For real though, the work they give us is truly working because I see progress, and through progress, I will get better results! Other than that, we did 2 point perspective with Mr Mark and it was actually not easy at all. We had to think of a way to draw a room in 2 point perspective...including the objects in it, which was admititly hard, but then again...we learn through hardships and we are here to learn anyways, so I welcomed the challenge and managed to draw a hallway in 2 point perspective. It was not easy but I learned a lot through that. Those 2 days and the rest of the entire week was jus...
