Art Off the Wall: Cartoons and Animation

Product Description

Designed, like its mates in the Art off the Wall series, to introduce children to unconventional art forms, this survey combines a historical perspective on animation; descriptions of animation techniques; and information about how modern animated movies are made. Big color images of both familiar cartoon characters and of animators at work give lively support to the interesting information. Laced with references to pop-culture icons such as the Simpsons and Wallace and Gromit, Spilsbury's overview concludes with a list of books, online resources, and recent animated films.
