Beehler / MOME 115 / Lillian Schwartz 1 Motion graphics exist in the manner we know of today due in large part to the efforts of a few particular people; those who wanted to push mediums beyond the surface and experimented with colors, photographs and time-based art.1 Lillian Schwartz was one of those people and, through her passion and efforts, she became a very important contributor to motion graphics. Her past plays a huge role in how she started, why her art is influential and how she got to where she is now.

Lillian Schwartz Early Life Lillian Schwartz was born in 1927 into a large family; the 12th of 13 children. In an interview conducted in 2014, Ms. Schwartz stated that her childhood played a huge role in her creative process. She spoke of how her mother required each of the children to be involved with, and to study, either art or music.

It seemed to amaze her how they could tell her how they did theirs, but wouldn’t teach her how it’s actually done. All her paintings came from her traveling experience. I remember her saying how the clouds looked solid as she looked up and just imagined. She lived until she was 90, she died of old age. I admired the fact where she talked about how early she would wake up and what time she would be back after being out working as an artist because it showed how dedicated she was to her craft. There was a time when her drawings were put up in a museum without her knowing and she found out from someone else and got down to the bottom of

Drawing as movement implies that individual drawings are put together as frames, and create something new and different from each individual drawing. It is fundamentally different from the other three types of drawing, as it develops through time” therefore clarifying that drawing is a important piece of the animation process. Most animations being with a script and therefore a storyboard is created, allowing changes to be made before the next stage of sketching characters and scenes and of course space. Applying Aesthetics touches can be done which are fundamentally important as to the look and feel of the final animation. From this cells can be drawn upon in order of sequence to be filmed and animated. Of course if a 3-D program is to be used to finalise the animation then the concluding part of drawing onto cells would not occur and the drawing portion of the animation would terminate here.
