Cartoons
A cartoon is any
of several forms of illustrations with varied meanings that evolved
from its original meaning. A cartoon (from the Italian cartone and
Dutch/Flemish word "karton", meaning strong, heavy paper
or pasteboard) is a full-size drawing made on paper as a study for
further drawings, such as a painting or tapestry. Cartoons were typically
used in the production of frescoes, to accurately link the component
parts of the composition when painted onto plaster over a series of
days. Such cartoons often have pinpricks where the outline of the
design has been picked out in the plaster. Cartoons by painters such
as Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci are highly prized in their own right.
