We could say that a background is like a supporting actor that makes a protagonist shine. In an animated film, the background is the element that blends everything together, the canvas where everything happens.<\/p>\n
The background is the emotional part of the script in non-animated image format. It allows the actor to place himself in the context of his performance, to reinforce his message to the audience.<\/p>\n
Yes, a training aimed at working on the conscious knowledge of the elements that make up the backgrounds. The students of the school have created a background in several versions with the entity of a main actor. My aim was that, on the basis of this work, each student would become aware of the importance of the backgrounds, of their components and secrets, of putting them into practice.<\/p>\n
In this training they have learned to treat the landscape as a design element. We recognise and study in depth all the elements that make up a setting, perspective, organic elements, architecture, lights, textures, colour…<\/p>\n
Create a setting freely proposed by the students, placing it in an ideal context: “Where would you like to be?”<\/p>\n
I value it very positively. The students have given themselves unreservedly to the exercise for a week, in an orderly, hard-working way and with good results.
The most important thing they have discovered has happened in the work process, seeing why some things don’t work, why others do it better and knowing how to make the best decision in every tiny detail, that’s the learning experience.<\/p>\nTIMETABLE OF THE OPEN DAYS 2022<\/h2>
