7th Media Arts: Animate and Cartoon Yourself

This project will introduce you to some basic Photoshop tools and using mouse control. We will use Photoshop to trace a digital photo and show an expressive and emotive cartoon face.

This cartoon project relates to the animation projects we will try later in the semester. Watch a video on the history of animation:
