Little Gold Mine: posemaniacs

I found something last weekend.
It's a great anatomy resource site.
I'm not sure if students have already pointed it out..
But I am posting it up anyway!
It's for people who don't have the greater access to life drawing etc.
But I see it a great place to practice examples just on the go,or sketching.
There are heaps and heaps of great references.

The site is:  http://www.posemaniacs.com/

Treasure Hunt

                            I'm Rich:
With all this material!

                                                                                      

With all honesty until now I have been kind of nervous to look about the library. I usually like going to the my local library, and also my past school library. But, with all new experiences or places, I always have to conjur some courage. Without this orientation, I don't think I would have looked inside that library despite how much I like them. I have been this way ever since I was a little kid.

So I am very grateful... that I got my foot in the door.

And just to add, the Librarians seem good to talk to. Aside from the glorious amount of material, I like how there are so many help desks, and also the fact you can drink in there is a win too.

My Completed Answers >

1. Shuan Tan has also been the author of The bird King and The arrival(I like this, It's about migration. Simple to how I feel coming to new places... It's a complete picture book, no writing/narritive.). Both these books can be found at the library. Other work's of Shuan Tan is The Red Tree.

2. I looked about the Journals, I could only see a magazine about animation ... called 'Animation Magazine'. Simple straight forward name. But I'm exceptionally happy how the Library holds around 3 years of Imagine FX Magazines. Lovee..

3. I found out the Librarian's help in Library's today...
For information detailing on copyright it's fine to lurk about web feat, but its also accessable on level 4 of the block.

4. Disney's 2 of the 9 old men collaborated on a great big book called the Illusion of Life. Those two men were Frank Thomas, and Ollie Johnston. The book is located on the 3rd level.


5. For the 5th Question, I found the book The Animator's Survival Kit (Richard Williams) of level 3. I'm most certainly

going visit these books. We'll be the best of friends.

6. Frank went to Paris!! and the dim of this treasure

 hunt is something he brought back from paris. From

 the Gobelin Animation school. I guess this makes our

 Teacher Frank a Pirate!... I found one book. By Gobelins. 

But I am unsure.

It's called 'Paris: Chambre de Commerce et d'industrie'...

 Chambre? Commerce?? I'm all so so very confused. Completely.
Is this really the book?

7. Miyazaki, Miyazaki, Miyazaki. It's fun to say. But all the more

 fun to watch. Yes his animated movies are found at the sbit library. 

Films such as Howls moving Castle, Porco Rosso, Spirited Away,

 Kiki's Delivery Service and The Miyazaki Temple are all avaliable to loan.

8. The Orientation was of good help, but I answered most of the

questions given before the orientation started... 

 

And lastely. Watching 'The Lost Thing'.

 I would have to say I have a Favourite creature design.

The Cage Bird.
