CARTOONS
CARTOONS
In this u will meet cartoons
A cartoon is a type of dimensional illustration. While the specific definition has changed over
time, modern usage refers to (a) a typically non-realistic or semi-realistic artistic style of drawing or painting, (b) an image or series of images intended for satire, caricature, or humor, or (c) a motion picture that relies on a
sequence of illustrations for its animation. An artist who creates cartoons is
called a cartoonist.[1]
The concept
originated in the Middle Ages and first described a
preparatory drawing for a piece of art, such as a painting, fresco, tapestry,
or stained glass window. In the 19th century,
it came to refer to humorous illustrations in magazines and newspapers, and
after the early 20th century, it referred to comic strips and animated films.[2]In
the 21st century, cartoons could be published on the Internet.
A cartoon (from Italian: cartone and Dutch: karton—words
describing strong, heavy paper or pasteboard) is a full-size drawing made on
sturdy paper as
a study ormodello for
a painting, stained glass or tapestry.
Cartoons were typically used in the production of frescoes,
to accurately link the component parts of the composition when painted on
damp plaster over
a series of days (giornate).[3]
Such cartoons often have pinpricks along the outlines of the design so
that a bag of soot patted or "pounced" over the cartoon, held against
the wall, would leave black dots on the plaster ("pouncing").
Cartoons by painters, such as the Raphael
Cartoons in London, and examples by Leonardo da
Vinci, are highly prized in their own right. Tapestry cartoons,
usually coloured, were followed with the eye by the weavers on
the loom.[2][4]
