Roll a Book

Many years ago, I took an art class taught by Jacques Rupp, best known as a layout artist for Walt Disney's LADY AND THE TRAMP. This You Tube clip allows us to hear about the "perfect recipe" found in making Disney’s DUMBO. The drawing lessons I learned from Mr. Rupp are always with me.

THE MAKING OF DUMBO

 

Pencil Journey

Cut a strip of paper. Draw a story in a few cartoon squares (frames) on the paper with your own story and characters. Make sure to add a few words with your cartoon drawings. Roll it up, like in this DUMBO You Tube clip, and you have a “Roll a Book.” For a quick design, glue a pencil at the beginning of the rolled paper and another pencil at the end. These fun stories are for you enjoy and share.
