Toon Learning Center |

| Toon
Learning Center was designed by Jim Allen for Toon-Ed as
an interactive and hands-on display to learn how to read and
create
a toon. The student may also
expand their 3 panel toon to create a graphic
novel.
Preparatory
work
is
done
by
dissecting
a graphic
novel and an animation short and equiped with that basic understanding
the student will develop a story plot. The learning format follows
the XLT (Xtreme Learning and Thinking) model
developed by Jim Allen. |
|

|
Toon-Ed
will be developing and constructing a series of permanent displays
to be available
for rental to museums and libraries. |
