Where #i# it all $egin%
No one really knows exactly when the thought of animation first developed, but you could argue that
even as early as cave dwelling man, people wanted to express motion.
Ca&e paintings
The earliest examples derive from still drawings, which can be found in Palaeolithic cave paintings,
where animals are depicted with multiple sets of legs in super-imposed positions, clearly attempting
to convey the perception of motion.
Eg'ptian murals
An gyptian mural, approximately !""" years old, shows
wrestlers in action. ven though this may appear similar to a
series of animation drawings, there was no way of viewing
the images in motion. #t does, however, indicate the artist$s
intention of depicting motion.

images very 'uickly one picture after another, the series of 'uick flashes is perceived as one
continuous image.
