“Intellectual growth means constant expansion of horizons and consequent formation of new purposes and new responses. These are impossible without an active disposition to welcome points of view hitherto alien; an active desire to entertain considerations which modify existing purposes. Retention of capacity to grow is the reward of such intellectual hospitality.”

— John Dewey, Democracy and Education

Dear Students,

Take a sweet 9 minute break and watch a variety of early animation clips. Keep an eye on the use of solid black.

For extra credit, stop the video here and there and copy the picture into your compbook. Draw some of the characters and backgrounds. Don’t forget to draw your frame first.

Sincerely,

Prof.  Yeti

People walking around when talking on their mobile phone is a common behavior. Referred to as “Cell Trance” in the Urban Dictionnary2, this way of moving back and forth is often seen in public venues such as hallways, sidewalks, train platforms, bus stops or shopping malls. To onlookers, the erratic perambulation looks aimless, as if the caller is detached from his surroundings, absorbed in a private sonic universe.
