Q: Will Toon Club benefit my child’s mental growth?
A:
Research shows that children's understanding of Animation Logic, or how animation works, goes hand in hand with concepts learned at each grade level. These include:

The Arts: Aesthetic principles of design, composition, contrast and visual symbols..
Motor skills: Hand-eye coordination and the ability to repeat a drawing.
Creative Writing: Principles of storytelling, story structure, characters and settings help children express themselves and experiment.
Science: Scientific principles of visual perception, cameras and projection technology.
Physics: Laws of movement, persistence of vision, velocity, gravity and metamorphosis.

Q: Is this a Computer Animation course?
A:
No. This is a traditional animation course using drawings, clay and other media. Besides the arts and aesthetics of animation, it will also teach them laws of physics and the technical information on making animation films. Computers will be used as a tool to compile the creations, rather than to create it.

Q: My child does not have any creative streak/genes in him. Is the course suitable for him/her?
A:
Animation is a skill and learning which can be acquired. All children are creative, they just need to be encouraged.

Q: Does my child require drawing skills?
A:
No…Animation is not an art of drawing, but an art of movement that has to be drawn.

Q: Is my child too young for this course?
A:
The activities in the course are designed taking into account the child’s age. Therefore, the exercises given to the children vary in levels as per their age. As per research, in Kindergarten (Age 6 upwards), children can draw the same or similar image repeatedly for at least four pages, which is the minimum pre-requisite to successfully complete some of the exercises given.
