the importance of clean-up in the animation process.

3) Play a game where students have to guess the character based on a

simplified clean-up sketch.
Activity 1: Analyzing Clean-Up Requirements

[Teaching Strategy: Discussion]

Materials: Examples of cartoon-simple drawings, whiteboard, markers

Significance: Students will understand the key principles of clean-up

requirements in cartoon-simple drawings.

Instructions:

1) Present examples of cartoon drawings with messy lines and ask students
to identify the areas that need clean-up.

2) Discuss the importance of clean lines and clear in animation.

3) Engage students in a discussion about the key principles of clean-up,

such as line consistency, erasing unnecessary lines, and defining.

Rubric:

- Identification of clean-up areas: 10 pts

- Understanding of clean-up principles: 10 pts

Assessment Questions:

1) What are the main principles of clean-up in cartoon-simple drawings?

2) Why is clean-up important in animation?

3) How can clean-up improve the overall quality of an animation?

Activity 2: Applying Clean-Up Techniques

[Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning]

Materials: Drawing paper, pencils, erasers

Significance: Students will practice applying clean-up techniques in their

own cartoon-simple drawings.

Instructions:

1) Provide students with a cartoon drawing template with messy lines.

2) Instruct students to clean up the lines by following the principles

discussed in Activity 1.
3) Encourage students to experiment with different techniques to enhance
the clarity and quality of their drawings.

Rubric:

- Clean-up technique application: 15 pts

- Improvement in clarity and quality: 10 pts

Assessment Questions:

1) How did you apply clean-up techniques in your drawing?

2) What improvements did you make to enhance the clarity and quality of
your drawing?

3) What challenges did you face during the clean-up process and how did
you overcome them?

Activity 3: Showcasing Improved Proficiency

[Teaching Strategy: Presentation]

Materials: Projector, computer, animation software (optional)

Significance: Students will showcase their improved proficiency in using

digital or traditional tools to enhance the quality and clarity of their
animations.

Instructions:

1) Instruct students to create a short animation using their clean-up

drawings from Activity 2.

2) Students can choose to use digital animation software or traditional tools

like flipbooks or stop-motion.

3) Provide time for students to refine their animations and prepare for a
presentation.

Rubric:

- Animation quality and clarity: 15 pts

- Proficiency in using tools: 10 pts

Assessment Questions:

1) How did you enhance the quality and clarity of your animation using
clean-up techniques?
2) What tools did you use to create your animation, and how proficient are
you in using them?

3) What improvements do you plan to make in future animations based on

the clean-up principles learned?

ANALYSIS:

Activity 1 - Students successfully identified clean-up areas and

demonstrated understanding of clean-up principles. This activity connects
to the objective by providing a foundation for analyzing and identifying
clean-up requirements in cartoon-simple drawings.

Activity 2 - Students applied clean-up techniques effectively and showed

improvement in the clarity and quality of their drawings. This activity
connects to the objective by allowing students to apply clean-up techniques
in their own drawings.

Activity 3 - Students showcased their improved proficiency in using digital

or traditional tools to enhance the quality and clarity of their animations.
This activity connects to the objective by providing an opportunity for
students to demonstrate their understanding and application of clean-up
principles in the animation process.

ABSTRACTION:

Through the objective, students will analyze and identify the key principles
of clean-up requirements in cartoon-simple drawings, apply clean-up
techniques in their own drawings, showcase improved proficiency in using
digital or traditional tools to enhance their animations, and appreciate the
importance of clean-up in the animation process. By understanding these
principles and techniques, students can create high-quality animations with
clear and clean lines.

APPLICATION:

[Teaching Strategy: Problem-Based Learning]

Task 1 - Students will analyze a short animation with messy lines and
identify the areas that need clean-up. They will then apply the clean-up
techniques discussed to improve the clarity and quality of the animation.
Task 2 - Students will create a storyboard for a short animated film,
ensuring that the clean-up requirements are considered in the planning
stage. They will then use their clean-up drawings to create the final
animation.

ASSESSMENT:

[Teaching Strategy: Differentiation]

[Instructional Materials: Rubrics]

Question 1: Identify three key principles of clean-up in cartoon-simple

drawings.

Question 2: How does clean-up contribute to the overall quality of an

animation?
