Dear Teachers,
I am thrilled to introduce you to the world of animation through "Create Cartoons and Animate with Surf Soup TV!" As a real animator and children's book author and illustrator, I am passionate about inspiring young minds to explore their creativity and express themselves through art.
Through this guide, you will find over 80+ lesson plans that will help you teach the fundamentals of animation production, including character design, layout, and size composition. But more importantly, you will be providing your students with the opportunity to let their imaginations soar and create something truly unique and special.
I believe that art is not only a way to express oneself, but it is also a powerful tool for education and growth. By incorporating art into your curriculum, you are helping your students develop important skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication.
And the best part? The completed cartoons that your students create can be submitted to appear on Surf Soup TV! It's a fun and exciting opportunity for your students to showcase their creativity to a wider audience, and who knows where it could take them?
Thank you for your dedication to your students and your commitment to the arts. I hope that this guide will inspire you and your students to discover the joy and wonder of animation.
Sincerely,
Donna Kay Lau
