To Develop Children's appreciation of their academic subjects. Through examples and discussion we will show how the cartoonist uses all of these academic subjects in the development of a cartoon strip and other cartoon product applications To Show That not only must one be artistic and creative to be a cartoonist, but that what they learn today in school is utilized and needed in every day situations, even in the bizarre world of cartooning. To Give Hands on art instruction using basic art principles to draw various cartoon faces and figures utilizing different methods. To Explain The type of art materials, techniques and the step by step processes that are followed producing various printed materials using cartoons. To Help Develop the child's natural talents and understanding of the many artistic elements, such as drawing realistically, and how perspective and anatomy are used to make cartoons. They will learn that although Cartoonists may work in a very simple fashion, a lot of formal art training precedes this. Why Cartooning? Cartoons are a medium children of all ages and adults love, understand and can relate to. We have all, at one time or another, been entertained and yes even educated through the use of cartoons. Now you can supplement your curriculum with a fun, interesting and educational workshop. Our program is totally different and stimulating. Our Workshops compliment and supplement the programs you now use, and we actively engage the children through example, discussion and hands-on instruction. We will give children a realistic glimpse into the highly specialized and fiercely competitive world of cartooning. Far from being glamorous, it's a profession that requires much hard work and dedication, a side of cartooning that children do not ever see.
