he Seoul Museum of Art (SEMA) holds “DreamWorks Animation: The Exhibition - Journey from Sketch to Screen,” with DreamWorks Animation and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI). The exhibition is one of SeMA’s Nine Sights, selected highlights enjoyable for all ages. As the exhibition title “From Sketch to Screen,” suggests, this exhibition shows how a popular animation character is brought to life on screen from a rough sketch idea, and offer an insightful look into the processes behind the on-screen magic. The 400 specially selected items on display include early artist drawings, storyboards, colored paintings, 3D characters, models, musical notes, and masks from the studio’s popular films from the past 20 years, including “Shrek,” “Kung Fu Panda,” “Madagascar,” and “How to train your dragon.” The The exhibit also includes behind-the-scene interviews and features interactive digital experiences that lets visitors try software used for making the films.
Furthermore, during the exhibition, there will be various events including special talks for the opening educational programs for children, and concert with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra. We hope that these programs will invite visitors to be inspired by the creativity and challenging spirit that has propelled the animation powerhouse and explore a new world of art.
