Why are the fables good for children?

The fables are entirely based on morality, and telling a meaningful story. Morality can be described as set of beliefs distinguishing between right and wrong. Which makes them a crucial part in a child's education, scientists believe that learning such things at a young age will reflect through in later life. The combination of animals in the story telling makes an interesting platform for an educational purpose.

About Aesops Fables

Aesop's Fables are short stories which have a very definitive meaning. Only constructed from one or maybe two paragraphs each one is based around an event which teaches the reader a certain moral. There are 655+ fables, each teaching you morals like "United we stand, divided we fall" and "Look before you leap". You may remember one of the most famous fables named "The hare and the tortoise" with the moral of "Slow and steady wins the race". These short stories are apparently almost as old as the Olympics, still holding values and meanings which we still very much believe and understand today.



There is also the "Boy Who cried wolf" and "The ant and the grasshopper" which are also some of the most well known fables ever written. They were wrote by a slave in Greece between 580-620BC, these Beast Fables are called such as all the stories characters consist of animals.

First 3D Studio Max animation class



This is the second semester of my second year, and we are continuing our 3D Studio Max tutoring and Il be learning how to animate in the 3D software, not just model objects.

I have been given my brief already, and with in this semester I have to study Aesops Fables. If you have not heard of this, these are childrens storeys, and I will have to animate one of the storys in this program.
