What's the difference between comics and comics?

Comics are written on paper and drawn by people. They can be black and white or color, but they are usually black and white. Watching cartoons on TV, things on the screen will move.

This is a cartoon:

When talking about comics, we should first talk about the source and artistic characteristics of comics, and then talk about creative methods.

Comics, a painting form, has a long history. When a painter paints, he sometimes feels something in his heart and paints when he wants to say it. As early as the Ming Dynasty in China (1366- 1644), Li Shida made fun of humpbacked people and drew a "Three Tuo Tu", which is a cartoon. But at that time, there was no such name as "Comics".

People always want to emphasize what they say. If they exaggerate it, it will be funny and interesting to draw it. This has formed two artistic characteristics of comics: first, when they are spoken, they have language functions; The second is humor, that is, humor, humor or irony. Humor and irony are equally funny.

China was in the feudal era for a long time, and people's speech was restrained, so cartoons could not be popularized, so it was rare. Until the end of17th century, Britain got rid of the shackles of feudal forces and printing technology developed rapidly. British painters began to comment on current events with pictures. The newspaper printed these pictures on a plate and spread them widely through the newspaper, attracting readers' attention. This kind of painting became a special kind of painting art, and later it was called cartoon, transliterated as "cartoon" and translated as "cartoon". At the same time, a professional CARTOONIST appeared in Britain, named Cartooonist. China until the beginning of the 20th century, when the emperor was overthrown, comics became popular, and chinese comic families such as He Jianshi, Huang Wennong and Feng Zikai appeared.

Because cartoons are interesting, cartoonists will also make up jokes and draw them. Jokes have action plots of characters, and when they are drawn, there are more than one picture, four or five pictures, and six or seven pictures, which are connected into one picture. We call it "comic strip", but it is still called "comic strip" in Britain and America. Later, comic story paintings can also be made into animated films, which is naturally called "comics". So those animated serial story paintings are called comics.

Comic story painting is similar to China's comics. Comic books are printed into books, commonly known as "picture books", such as the stories of Shen Fengbang or Water Margin. This kind of story does not need funny jokes, nor can it be used for comments, which is completely different from the nature of comics.

Newspapers use the language function of cartoons to make current affairs cartoons, which become a form of comment and are published on news pages; It also uses the humor of comics to publish ridiculous humorous pictures in the supplement to attract readers and expand circulation.

Comic story painting does not have these two functions of comics. Newspapers don't comment on comic stories and draw so many pictures. Is this meal suitable for Lu? Hey? Do you want to drink α s sleep? Patella cable? Grey Huan? Playing with rings? Excuse me. Br & gt20 1980s, a large number of Japanese comic books were published and printed and introduced into China. They called this kind of painting "cartoon" or "cartoon" according to the names of Britain and America, which confused two different paintings. Later, China took another name and called this cartoon story painting "animation", because some paintings also used the cartoon modeling method, which was exaggerated and had comic characteristics.

In fact, there is a difference between comic books and comic books in Britain and America. Look at the comic encyclopedia published in Britain and the United States. People who draw comics are called cartoonists, but people who draw serial stories have never seen such a name.

What is a comic book? From "Pediatrics" graffiti to Picasso's "guernica", it seems that some people call it comics. As an independent art form, other arts lack rigor and standardization, coupled with the lag of theoretical criticism, which has caused it to drift out of the mainstream of art for a long time, so some people call comics "marginal art" and "artistic edge".

However, the wave of modernism, which started at the end of 19, has changed all aspects of social life, and at the same time it has subtly impacted many aspects of comics. Especially surrealist artists such as Margaret, Delvaux Cox and Cirico. Their fantastic works conform to the absurd principle of comic creation. In this sense, many modern works of art inadvertently act as "ivory towers" of comics.

In recent decades, in addition to the traditional function of comics to criticize the current disadvantages and entertain the public, some cartoonists with more avant-garde ideas have also begun to actively explore the road to modernization of comics. Especially in the years after the end of World War II, many people of insight in the cartoon industry, imitating the exhibition mechanism of other arts, successively set up some international cartoon exhibitions and competitions, and invited accomplished artists and critics to discuss the survival and development of cartoons under the new historical conditions. Such an exhibition dares to break the original thinking of comics, affirms the initiative of comics in embodying individual spiritual values, and shows the trend of comics moving closer to the mainstream of contemporary art.

Avant-garde comics-there is still no clear definition in the world. Generally speaking, it refers to a marginal art form between traditional comics and avant-garde art, or a new comic genre catalyzed by contemporary avant-garde art, which emphasizes the exploration function of values and aesthetic orientation and is "subversive" to traditional comics.

The creation of avant-garde cartoons in China started very late, and only in the 1990s did a few cartoonists set foot in it. However, their works soon began to show the characteristics of avant-garde comics, and they focused on the exploration of creative ideas and the horizontal comparison with avant-garde art. However, due to various conditions, their development has not been able to form a huge creative group and spread widely. However, the strong trend of modernism in art is strongly impacting people's traditional ideas, and avant-garde comics will be understood and accepted by more and more people.

And animation:

Refers to what you see on TV.

Bottom line: Comics appear on paper without moving, while cartoons are animated and move on the screen. Comics (animation) are created through comics.
