For Kidd’s article,
I learnt that important things often come in a certain way. For example,
something comes from left is usually more important than the one from right. It
is important to understand the relationship between left and right, top and
bottom, big and small, in front of and in back of.
However, sometimes
it doesn’t work. For example, in a view of snow, you probably notice the red
ball against the white world at first sight, but not the things closest to you,
which does not follow the in front of and in back of rule.
For Hickey’s
article, I learnt much about basketball, especially the history of the rules
changing. The players should be free to play and take the advantage of their
talent, not restricted by the rules.
It is true in the
sports. However, it cannot be used in any field in our life. We need rules to
keep everything in order and everyone safe. The traffic lights can be a good
example of why we need rules. Otherwise, people maybe die.
For Weschler
article, I learnt much about how animators work and that the things look like
the easiest could be the hardest ones. It can be seen anywhere in our life. For
example, water, which is soft, can erode the rock, which seems very firm.
In the article,
many advanced technique is discussed to make the animation reliable. However, wherever
they achieve, they cannot substitute the real facial expression, because that
is where the charm of human being lies.
