2. A cartoon is a type of visual art that is
typically drawn, frequently animated, in an
unrealistic or semi-realistic style. The specific
meaning has evolved over time, but the modern
usage usually refers to either: an image or
series of images intended for satire,
caricature, or humor; or a motion picture that
relies on a sequence of illustrations for its
animation. Someone who creates cartoons in
the first sense is called a cartoonist,[1] and in
the second sense they are usually called an
animator.
3. The concept originated in the Middle
Ages, and first described a preparatory
dro, tapestry, or stained glass window.
In the 19th century, beginning in Punch
magazine in 1843, cartoon came to refer
โ ironically at first โ to humorous
artworks in magazines and newspapers.
Then it also was used for political
cartoons and comic strips. When the
medium developed, in the early 20th
century, it began to refer to animated
films which resembled print cartoons.

A cartoon (from Italian: cartone and Dutch:
kartonโwords describing strong, heavy paper
or pasteboard) is a full-size drawing made on
sturdy paper as a design or modello for a
painting, stained glass, or tapestry. Cartoons
were typically used in the production of
frescoes, to accurately link the component
parts of the composition when painted on damp
plaster over a series of days (giornate).[3] In
media such as stained tapestry or stained glass,
the cartoon was handed over by the artist to
the skilled craftsmen who produced the final
work.

6. Because of the stylistic similarities between
comic strips and early animated films,
cartoon came to refer to animation, and the
word cartoon is currently used in reference
to both animated cartoons and gag cartoons.
[19] While animation designates any style of
illustrated images seen in rapid succession to
give the impression of movement, the word
"cartoon" is most often used as a descriptor
for television programs and short films aimed
at children, possibly featuring
anthropomorphized animals,[20] superheroes,
the adventures of child protagonists or
related themes.
