Abstract

This article discusses the main aim of the author’s animation work at the Creativity and Cognition Research Studios (C&CRS) on the development of water elements which must appear to have the ‘graspability’ of cloth as well as the movement, translucence and flow of water. The design of the project was inspired by the chalk stones of Birling Gap beach, the sculpture of Henry Moore and Cycladic Art.
