OCT 31: Discord Discussion- Honore Daumier, the Great French Cartoonist

Animation Resources Discord

Animation Resources is hosting monthly Discord parties on its Discord server. Join us the last Saturday of every month to participate in discussions and network with fellow artists from all over the world. The party starts at 4:30 pm (PDT) and the program begins at 5:30 pm.

THIS MONTH’S PROGRAM

Honore Daumier

Our schedule of monthly programs under the banner Discord Discussions continues this Saturday October 31st!

Honoré Daumier is one of the greatest caricaturists and political satirists of all time. Born in Marseille, France in the early 1800s, Daumier’s drawings, paintings, sculptures, and lithographs influenced not only other artists, but society as a whole. Like most of us today, Daumier believed in a Democratic ideal. You can find a lot of parallels between his satire of 19th century France and modern-day politics. Join Animation Resources President Stephen Worth and Board Member Davey Jarrell on Discord this Saturday, October 31st as they discuss the history of Daumier’s work and his impact on society.

Join us Saturday for an informal discussion of a cartoonist who is probably someone you probably don’t know, but you should! Find out how wide the world of cartooning is! Have fun meeting other like-minded folks!

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

One of the biggest mysteries about the way cartoons were made in the classic era is musical timing. The number of frames an action would take to perform was planned along with the music that would accompany the movement. This synergy of timing and music is a big part of why golden age cartoons are so much more rhythmic and synchronized than modern animation. Davey Jarrell has reverse engineered Chuck Jones’s notes for "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and he will break it all down and explain how it works. The program takes place in the Animation Resources Discord Server and it starts at 5:30pm PST on May 30th. Don’t miss it!
