Join us at the Trout Museum of Art for the opening of B(ART) on Jan 20 5-8pm. Animating America’s Favorite Family
B(ART) is an unauthorized and in-depth look at the talent that created America’s longest- running primetime animated sitcom. Set in the fictional town of Springfield, the show explores the life of a working-class family through parodies of American culture and society, television, and the human condition.
This exhibit displays the art of creating hand-drawn 2D animation. Artists used sheets of transparent plastic called cels, drawing an outline on the front side and color blocks on the backside. These cels were then placed over a background and photographed in sequence. When played back at a speed of 24 frames per second, they create the illusion of movement. The TV show's production used cel animation during seasons 1 - 13 (1989 - 2002). Since season 14 (2003), the show embraced advancements in technology and uses a digital system, which eliminates the need for cels and the hand painted process.
This collection is on loan from William Heeter and Kristi Correa.
TMA exhibitions also made possible by the Sandra & Monroe Trout Art Exhibitions Endowment Fund within the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region.
