The teacher who arranged for you to create the blog for the students would like you to expand it explaining the principal behind the illusion of animation.

Task: Add a section to your blog titled “The theory of Persistence of Vision.”

The theory of Persistence of Vision in animation is when you see one image and then look at another image straight after and the vision of the first image is still subconsciously on your mind and in the retinal of your eye. For example, when you watch an animated movie from Pixar and you see an image of a character, such as Woody, in one frame and then a different character, like Buzz, in the next the image of Woody will still be in your retinal for a very brief moment; about 1/^25th  of a second.

The Persistence of Vision also applies to real life, when you see somebody or something move, such as a person waving their arm. When moving their arm from left to right the image of their arm still being to left will be on your mind for, again, a very brief moment and vise versa when their arm is on the right.
