ANIMATION IS IMPORTANT TO OUR LIVES
What would you do if you were given the ability to animate? Well, animation can be
used in a variety of ways, but one of the most common is to make movies. For the first time,
animation was featured in a film in 1914. Many animated films are now available, including
Frozen, Toy Story, Spider-Man Into the Spider Verse, Incredibles, and others. Animation is
important to our life, because animation can lead to a successful career, it can provide
entertainment and provides a way to teach character development.
Through creativity many artists made visual content making animations, resulting a
big entertainment platform. “The biggest use for animation is for entertainment. Animation is
used on the TV, on your phones, and all over the internet. In television, animation is mostly
used to occupy children, as is gives them something to laugh about and keep them entertained
for long periods of time.” (HiveStudio). The Lion King, Frozen, Toy Story, Finding Dory,
and other animated films are among the most popular. Animation being a big part of our
world can question some people, so how is it created?
Frames, which are individual drawings or pictures in a sequence to create an
animation, are used to create animation. Animation can be created in a variety of apps.
Especially in Photoshop you can make an animation by creating a timeline and drawing
individual frames, and you can also add audio.
When teaching is done visually, it can be more effective. “Animation is a
flexible medium with many forms, styles, and approaches to fit different groups of people.
According to the Social Science Research Network, 65% of people are visual learners and

30% of people learn better by listening rather than reading. This makes animation the perfect
format for delivering content that appeals to your learners.” (flearningstudio). Animation
helps in learning, using animation in teaching can increase the speed that students learn.
Although animation is a pleasant and a good way to teach, it can be used to gain money.
Animation can lead to a successful career, entertainment, and a way to teach character
development. Animation can be used in movies, series, and other forms of entertainment.
Furthermore, careers such as animator, game designer, and special effect technicians require
animation. Finally, animation is a fantastic way to teach! Animation is important to our lives
today.
