**Animation** is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in a number of ways. The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion pictureor video program, although several other forms of presenting animation also exist.

The very basics of animation are the same on all media. The first step is to show an image. All following steps include minor changes to the previous image. When shown one after the other relatively quickly, the image can appear to be animated. Animation is a series of many, many pictures shown in rapid sequence to simulate movement. For example, Mickey Mouse appears to be moving because a picture is drawn of each tiny movement he "makes" in the scene.

Flip books were invented when in 1979. They were invented by Atoro Volata, an Italian man. People say that Flip Books were invented by Leonardo Da Vinci. The first animation came from the flip book.
