This assignment is about developing "learning to see" in terms of sequential actions for animations and the concept of second. The task itself is not assessed, but its implementation is of great importance to develop the practice of animated books. The task was presented in class and then worked on at home.

Answer:
Smiley:
1. the smiley goes from smiling to looking sad. Here I tried to bring out the action of the mouth (the change from laughing to sad) exactly.
2. the smiley becomes smaller and moves slightly to the upper right in the frame
3. the line is relatively even
4. the amount of drawing is appropriate
Bird
1. the bird is flying
2. the bird moves slightly down in the frame and back up at the end to show the action of flapping its wings
3. the line is not quite even
4. the number of drawing could be a little longer, but you understand the action
Bird bubble
1. one kind of bubble divides into 3
2. the big bubble (the main part) moves a little down in the frame, but the two new bubbles float up and end up above in the frame
3. the lines are even
4. number of drawings is adequate to understand the posture
Gift and chair
1. a gift falls from a shelf and falls on a chair
2. the objects stay in the same place in the frame
3. lines are even
4. number of drawings is adequate to understand the posture

Answer:
Apple to heart
1. an apple is hit by an arrow and becomes a heart which bleeds
2. the apple/heart stays in the same place, but the arrow moves through the picture and hits the heart/apple
3. the lines are not even and of different thickness, there are several lines that have been drawn
4. number of drawings is adequate to understand the posture
Bee and flower
1. the bee flies to a flower, which then catches and encloses it
2. the flower is tilted to the right and the bee flies from right to left in the frame
3. the line is not quite even, the bee is drawn a little thinner than the flower
4. the number of the drawing could be a little longer, but you understand the plot
Soccer man
1. a male takes a swing to kick a ball away
2. the man stays in the same position in the frame, the ball, after being kicked, flies out of the frame in the upper right corner
3. the lines are relatively even
4. number of drawings to understand the stance
Mouth to eye
1. a mouth opens and becomes an eye
2. the mouth/eye remain positioned the same in the frame
3. the lines are even

Answer:
Elephant to ballerina: I would emphasize the formation of the arms and legs in the ballerina, as these and the position make the action special. Likewise, the disappearance of the horn from the elephant is important.
Expand from 6 to 12/ Ampliar de 6 a 12
In the assignment, I had to select a sequence of 6 entry exercises from options 1 and 2 and expand them to 12. Then I had to record the expanded sequence with my cell phone while observing what happens during the exercises. After recording, I had to comment on the observations.
6 extensions
Video – Expand from 6 to 12
I have continued the bird. I uploaded my sketches here from in Poliformat and then made a video out of it.
By expanding the plot, it becomes even clearer and more understandable. The individual images come to life through the multitude.
