Part of Lesson Plan: How to "cartoon" an Image

Activity Overview / Details

As the students come into the room, have a browser open with three tabs and on each tab go to Google Images and have one tab under "Cartoon Network", one tab for "Marvel Comics" and one tab for "DC Comics".  Spend about a minute on each tab discussing the different styles of comics and how similar the images are to real photographs.   Have the students look at the images to get an impression of how comics have looked over time.  Ask them for aspects of the image that they notice like lighting and shadows.
