I taught I really good class today in the 2D animation unit and thought I would share it with you. Here is a brief outline.
•Discussion about the importance of character and how a good character can shape a story.
•Play “Guess who”. Banning questions on physical appearance. For example students can ask Yes/No questions like:
“Does the character go out on Saturday night?”
“Is the character married?
“Does the character own leather pants?”
•The winner is the person who has the least characters up when the chosen character goes down.
It was a great way to show students how much we judge the personality of the character by the way they are constructed. Some times it works, some times it doesn’t, but its fun to see how many times it does work, and how similar our perception are.
If you want to continue examining character construction and stereotypes in animation, then Daria is a good animation to watch.
