    Cartoons can refer to animated drawings or funny illustrations. Historically, cartoons also referred to large preparatory drawings for paintings. The word comes from the Italian "cartone" meaning a large sheet of paper. During the Renaissance, artists would prick holes along the outlines of cartoons and rub them with powder to transfer the design onto the wall or canvas. There are three main types of cartoons: editorial cartoons which comment on current events, comic strips which are sequential drawings with text in balloons telling a story, and caricatures which exaggerate a person's features for effect.

    What is a cartoon

    The word cartoon usually refers to an animation or a funny drawing, in


    an art historical context it can also refer to a full-scale preparatory drawing for a
    fresco, oil painting or a tapestry. The word we use today comes from the Italian
    cartone, which simply means a large sheet of paper or In his Waterloo cartoon,
    Daniel Maclise RA was drawing on a medium with its origins in Renaissance
    fresco painting. While Maclise copied his cartoon by eye (as did Raphael in The
    Sacrifice at Lystra; pictured) there were other scaling techniques which had
    been around for thousands of years. “Squaring up”, a method still used by
    artists today, was developed by the Egyptians at least 5,000 years ago. More on
    this below…card. During the Renaissance, artists transferred their designs to the
    wall or canvas by making pin pricks along the outlines of a drawing and then
    rubbing powder or dust across the back of the sheet to create a mirror image of
    the composition. This procedure – known as “pricking” or “pouncing” – often
    damaged the paper and many cartoons do not survive as a result. However,
    there are some fine examples of this technique, such as Raphael’s Young man
    asleep on the ground (1504; pictured). The pin pricks can be seen clearly along
    the outlines of the drawing.

    3 TYPES OF CARTOON
    1.EDITORIAL CARTOON
    Editorial cartoons, like written editorials, have an educational purpose. They are
    intended to make readers think about current political issues. EditoriaL cartoons
    are published in a mass medium, such as a newspaper, news magazine, or the
    Web.
    2.COMIC STRIP
    A comic strip is a sequence of drawings arranged in interrelated panels to
    display brief humor or form a narrative, often serialized, with text in balloons
    and captions. Traditionally, throughout the 20th century and into the 21st,
    these have been published in newspapers and magazines, with horizontal strips
    printed in black-and-white in daily newspapers, while Sunday newspapers
    offered longer sequences in special color comics sections. With the
    development of the internet, they began to appear online as webcomics. There
    were more than 200 different comic strips and daily cartoon panels in South
    Korea alone each day for most of the 20th century, for a total of at least
    7,300,000 episodes

    3.CARICATURE
    In literature, a caricature is a description of a person using
    exaggeration of some characteristics and oversimplification of
    others. Caricatures can be insulting or complimentary and can serve
    a political purpose or be drawn solely for entertainment.
