IDD 301 Assignment 2

          The animations we viewed were all about movement and surrealism. They each had this element of surprise and weirdness. For this reason I was intrigued and kept watching. The music portrayed the theme of the animations.  Dimensions of Diaglogue part 1 was not as interesting as part 2 because the music was not as upbeat and the plot was extremely repetitive. I enjoyed part 2 because the sounds of the sweet violin gave the animation more of a human feel. It was more realistic but still surreal. 

Prague Clock Tower

It is no surprise to me that Jan Švankmajer was from Prague. When I visited Prague last fall, I admired the many examples of beautiful architecture and artworks. For example, the center of Prague had this beautiful clock tower that I included above. This medieval clock is a huge tourist attraction of Prague because of its mystified beauty.
