A Novel Use of 3D Motion Capture: Creating Conceptual Links between Technology and Representation of Human Gesture in the Visual Arts

Abstract: As an unfolding of time-based events, gesture is intrinsically integrated with the aesthetic experience and function of the human form. In historical and contemporary visual culture, various approaches have been used to communicate the substance of human movement, including use of science and technology. This paper links the understanding of human gesture with technologies influencing its representation. Three-dimensional motion capture permits the accurate recording of movement in 3D computer space and provides a new means of analyzing movement qualities and characteristics. Movement signatures can be related to the human form by virtue of trajectory qualities and experientially and/or culturally dependent interactions.” (Shan, 35)

           

            This article is very relative to what I have looking for in regards to how technology can be used as an art medium.  This group of scientists have transformed movement into a series of 3-Dimentational graphs.  In my option, these graphs are beautiful and thought provoking works of digital art.  They are exploring the way the human body moves and reacts and they are also revealing unusual new forms a body makes when it is in motion.

Claymation Q3

6th grade Pastel Ribbons Q3

We started out with drawing our Ribbons, exploring depth and layering.  Then we applied Elmer's glue to our lines very carefully.  After the glue dried, we colored our Ribbons using soft pastels.  The dry glue acted as a barrier to stop the colors from mixing.

DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?

IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?

WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?

Step Two:

Turn your questions and answers into a one page paper with complete sentences.

For example:  I was named after my mother Beth because my name is Lisa and our names make Elisabeth. The last time I cried was three days ago while watching TLC’s a baby story.  Sometimes I like my handwriting but it really depends on what I’m writing and where. 

Step Three:

Once you have your paper written, make it fit onto one page by changing the font size and style. Be creative. You can use any many different font styles and sizes as you want.   That means that you can make some sentences or words bigger than others.

Step Four:

Design 3 unique symbols that represent you.  Be original. Stay away from hearts, stars and peace signs.  Think of a symbol that is as one of a kind as you. 

Step Five:

-On a piece of 12x12 inch white paper draw your favorite symbol.

-Fill the symbol and background with cut out parts of your paper.

-You can also incorporate drawings, magazine and pictures.

-Your 12x12 paper must be completely covered with words and images. 

6th grade Claymation Station 2012

 

This is our first attempt at stop-motion animation. I condensed both of my 6th grade classes into one video.  We learned a great deal about what it takes to create video using stop-motion.  Enjoy.
