✍🏻 💥Resource Roundup: Cartooning
Our Studio Art (art we learn to do as opposed to art that we study) is Cartooning.
I intentionally ensure that we go beyond Mason’s table to explore all of the forms of beauty and goodness that we can, and because my kids and I both love graphic novels, anime, manga, and comics, I knew that I wanted to take a deep dive into the history and construction of these worthy and widespread arts forms in our homeschool.
We’re having a blast with it, and my kids would rather learn to cartoon than to do brush drawing 100x over. 😜🤣
Here are the resources we’re either already using or plan to use this year.
