WHAT ARE CARTOONS?
A cartoon is any of several forms of illustrations with varied meanings. The term has evolved from its original meaning from the fine art of the Middle Ages and The Renaissance, to the more modern meaning of humourous illustrations in magazines and newspapers, to the contemporary meaning referring to animated programs.
A cartoon (from the Italian 'cartone ' and the Dutch word 'karton' meaning strong, heavy paper or pasteboard) is a full-sized drawing made on a paper as astudy for further drawings, such as a painting or tapestry. Cartoons were typically used in the production of frescoes, to accurately link the components parts of the composition when painted onto plaster over a series of days. Such cartoons often have pinpricks along the outlines of the design; a bag of soot was then rubbed over the cartoon, held against the wall to leave black dots on the plaster. Cartoons by painters such as Raphael Cartoons in London and the examples of Leanardo da Vinci are highly priced in their own right. Tapestry cartoons were followed by eye by weavers of the loom.
