Animation and moving image

This semester I toke Animation and moving image as my project topic, I am really interest into this paper because I love animation and to making them. Before last year I did animation as my elective paper, and I though I can improve my work in future. Now, here is my chance to make a better animation work.

In my plan, I would like to make a MIX animation witch shows the culture of animation-
Technique/methods, history and even the formate. I am interest into the methods of animation- hand-drawing, cutout, shadow, print, clay, paint-on, stop motion, digital, experimental animations. I still remember I did clay animation in year one, I couldn't find it, but that is my first one - clay animation.

After the research about the techniques, I just wondering about how to mix them together and create something amazon? If traditional animation meet with digital animation what may happen? Once I create traditional animation by using digital formate, or digital animation using classical formate, can I create something new or meaningful?

Last year I did educational game, the project let's me think about education and it's formate in kids learning, I was consider that animation make be can take part of education or learning in someway maybe? Animation can help people to learn something invisible or difficult to understand in a simple moving image way which show the process of the item/thing. But, that just too simple and only show the 'process', it is just about 'HOW' it work, not about 'WHAT' they can do too.

Therefore, I start my research about how to use animation in a creative way to help people learning. Maybe just to learning the Animation's culture? Use animation to tell my audience a story about the culture of animation, and at the same time, through the show shows people: the different techniques, how I used them in my project, what I created, why they are here.
