Walt was born Dec. 5, 1901 in Chicago. When he was 10 years old his family moved to Kansas City and attended Benton Grammar School where he met Walter Pfeiffer who introduced Walt Disney to the world of motion pictures. He took many art classes and when his family moved back to Chicago, he became the cartoonist for the school newspaper. Walt later moved back to Kansas City and made the comic strips for the cities newspaper. Soon after he started working with cel animation. In 1925,Walt married Lillian Call. Lillian and Walt had a family of two girls. With all the skills he developed in his drawing he began the many trials to become something bigger. Finally along with is brother Roy Disney, he was the co-founder of Walt Disney Productions. Walt is also well known as an innovator in animation and theme park design.

Project:
-What you need:
-one plain white paper
-one celluloid sheet(copy or blank, depending on class)
-black permanent marker (Sharpie)
-paint markers
-stapler
*Each child needs to pick a character to trace on the celluloid sheet if in 4th or 5th grade, or in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd a copied celluloid character of their choice.
*Name on back of white paper.
*Have each child draw a background on the white paper that will go with the character they picked.
*4th and 5th graders need to tape the celluloid on top of the character they want use, and trace the black lines with a sharpie.
*All grades then carefully use the paint pens and color the character only(no background on celluloid).
*When character is colored and dried place on top of background and staple on top.
*Tips:
*It works best to color on the opposite side that is printed or traced on, so marker won't run with the marker colors.
*Please to remind children not to push hard and break tips on pens. These are needed for all classes in school.
*We are working with paint, so when two wet colors touch they can mix and make a color you don’t want. Please don’t use pens on another wet color. Let that color dry before using a different color by or on it.
