6th Grade: Cartooning I
You will be required EVERY DAY to bring a:
-Pencil
-Sketchbook
-Notebook
Absolutely no exceptions.
Most, not all, of the assignments for the year will be below to give you an outline on what to expect as well as what we will be doing this year. The directions, examples, links will be below for each project. :)
Homework will also be assigned every Tuesday and Thursday.
Contact me at: TYSONANIMATIONEO@GMAIL.COM with any questions.
#2: Getting to know you & Other
-Please complete form at link below. 2-3 FULL SENTENCE answers.
-Log into Schoology and make sure you are in my class:
-Create a GMAIL email address & log into google drive:
#3 & #4: Animation & the 12 Principles
Today we will be watching two videos on the process & principles of animation to become more familiar with it.
-Short video & Worksheet on intro to animation:
Watch the short video and complete worksheet on 12 principles:
#5: Basic Shapes Intro Tutorial
-Write down a list of the 5 basic shapes.
-Draw 5 RECTANGLES keeping in mind width, height, volume, line quality and negative space. Take your time.
Remember: They should be exactly identical to each other as possible.
Hint: Pay attention to the space inside the shapes and compare all your shapes to the first one that you have drawn.
Continue with 5 of each ONLY after being approved to move on.
#1: Syllabus & Intro Presentation
Today you will be learning about our animation program with a presentation! You can follow at the link below.
You can also refer to syllabus at the link below.

You will be required EVERY DAY to bring a:
-Pencil
-Sketchbook
-Notebook
Absolutely no exceptions.
Do not forget your pencil.
You will be using this website every day as well as Schoology, Focus, & storing your work in a Google Drive.
I will go over all the technology tomorrow!
#6: Intro to Animation History
You will need a notebook each day we will cover history as we go through early animation history on the overhead projector.
It is extremely important that you take and keep your notes. Take care of them & bring them each history day.
We will be watching clips, films, taking notes, and learning a lot. Fun fact: Animation history is my FAVORITE!
#7 Combining the basic shapes
In this project, we will be making different combinations of the basic shapes to represent real life objects.
Think of an ice cream cone. It is made up of a circle and a triangle! Another might be a shelf with books on it, or a table made of a square and four rectangles for legs.
Your job is to create 5 different shape combinations of objects that you have seen in real life. Try and think as creatively as possible. Make sure to draw the shapes first.
The objective is to use shapes to draw, not just draw objects. (Important! This is called a breakdown and we will be using this technique in every aspect of animation over the next 6 years.)
While you are doing this, make sure you are still paying attention to your lines. They should be clean, even, and the same width at all times.
Try not to push down too hard or too light and keep your paper clean!
Wrinkled or ripped projects and assignments will have to be done again.

#8 Find, identify, & create your own objects from basic shapes
We will be making up our own combination for each basic shape. You can use any combination of the shapes to make up any object you can think of!
You can use the examples provided but your job it to make up your own.
While you are doing this, make sure you are still paying attention to your lines. They should be clean, even, and the same width at all times.
Try not to push down too hard or too light and keep your paper clean!
Wrinkled or ripped projects and assignments will have to be done again.
#9 3D Forms
1. -Answer the question in a paragraph: What is the difference between forms and shapes? What are the names of the 5 3D forms?
2. Draw 5 of each of the 3D forms, again, keeping in mind width, height, volume, and negative space.
Remember: They should be exactly identical to each other as possible. Hint: Pay attention to the space inside the shapes and compare all your shapes to the first one that you have drawn.
#10, #11, #12 A break down of basic 3D objects
We will be using our new knowledge of 3D forms to break down real life objects so that we can draw them accurately. If you think of any object, they are made of basic forms. This makes drawing
anything EXTREMELY easy once we learn this!
There will be objects below an we will analyze what basic forms make up these objects, then we will start drawing them by drawing the basic form of the object and adding the other basic forms that make it up.
After we are done, then we will add curves and details to finalize. There is no detail to be done before the breakdown ever.
#10 Bottle
#11 Table
#12 Couch
#13 Lamp
#13 Shading Gradients
-Answer the question in paragraph form with a heading: What do you think a light source is? What do you think shading is? How do you think light will effect your drawing? What would happen if there was no light source in a drawing?
Create 5 gradients going from dark to light. Focus on the pressure you are putting on your pencil and the direction of the light source.
#14 Shading 3D Forms
-Shade the cube first to the light source following the lesson
-Shade the Cone following the Lesson
-Shade the cylinder following the lesson
-Shade the sphere following the lesson and light source.
#14 One point exterior
-Find horizon line
-Find vanishing point
-Break down each of the basic shapes (walls)
-Connect corners to vanishing point
#15 One point interior #1,2, & 3
-Find horizon line
-Find vanishing point
-Break down each of the basic shapes (walls)
-Connect corners to vanishing point
