Animation is the art of creating the illusion of movement by rapidly displaying a series of still images, drawings, or computer-generated graphics. Each image in the sequence is slightly different from the one before it, and when shown in quick succession, they create the appearance of fluid, continuous motion. The word “animation” comes from the Latin word animatio, which means “the act of giving life,” and that is precisely what animators do: they bring inanimate objects and characters to life.
