==Description==
'''Animation''' is the rapid display of a [[sequence]] of [[images]] of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions to create an [[illusion]] of movement. The effect is an optical illusion of [[motion]] due to the [[phenomenon]] of [[persistence]] of [[vision]], and can be created and [[demonstrated]] in several ways. The most common [[method]] of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although there are other methods.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animation]
