CARTOONING CLASSES
To us, cartooning is one of the best areas of art in which our students can develop their skills in drawing, painting, illustration and narrating simultaneously. In other words, they can experience a variety of artistic skills in our cartooning classes. Therefore, we take a special approach to teach cartooning to our students by showing them how they can become wonderful artists in case they use our unique cartooning techniques. The basic components of our classes usually include learning about scene and location, character and characterization, time and sequence, voices in a story, points of view and narrative resolution. Moreover, individual learning styles and creativity are among the most important factors we take into account in developing and implementing our cartooning classes. In other words, although we equip our students with adequate techniques for developing phenomenal cartoons, we do not expect them to sacrifice their creativity at the expense cartooning based on specific models and structures.
