Animation with Art Dabbler 2.1

Fifth graders use the Dabbler tutorial to design their own cartoon character. They choose from cute, wiseguy, goofy and bully.  Each personality has specific characteristics.  For instance, if you wish to portray a cartoon with a cute personality, the cartoon must have large low set eyes, no neck etc. A cartoon with a goofy personality must have a long neck and head held forward. Students take these characteristics and incorporate them into their own cartoon.  Students then use dabbler to show movement.  Student must move at least three parts of cartoon to make believable.
