Though the education of culture and art for disabled children is very important, it has not been brisk yet until recently due to 'absence of the teaching methods suitable for disability types, levels and programs.'. In this situation, cartoon contents can be used as the most appropriate tools for culture and art education for mentally retarded children. Entertainment functions and genre features of cartoon contents can motivate the applicable children to participate more voluntarily and positively and function as teaching tools for interesting activities. Of course, since it is not proper to apply the cartoon contents for normal children to Special Education Field as they are, cartoon works should be made by understanding closely the characteristics and degrees of retardation of the applicable children and applying them to the composition of cartoons. However, for the contribution of this attempt to education field, it is thought that concrete guidelines for producing cartoon contents considering the concept of various types of disability, emotion, social behavioral traits, ability of cognition, school achievements, and the characteristics of language and physical health should be necessary, and to improve the application of the developed cartoon contents so that they will not remain as superficial results, sufficient communication with the applicable children such as application to classes in the process of development is necessary.

The development in information technology resulted in an interest for lifelong education, which caused a rapid growth in the educational web based e-Iearning industry. The spread of e-Iearning industries and educational facilities emphasized the need for educational contents with the purpose of online lecturing along with the rapid development of contents production technology. Flash contents provide multimedia, animation, and etc. with diverse and visual expressions, so the complicated interactions with the learner can be easily materialized. The advantage of having a high quality, user-centered interface is that it provides a trigger of interest and arousal of concentration for the user, but it is difficult for teachers to directly create or manipulate educational flash animation contents. This paper is written to technologically methodize the automation of educational programs that the teachers wish to make by reusing the educational flash animation contents.

We can say that there are several majors in the course of cartoon education of college; cartoon, manpyung, 4 panel comic strips, editorial cartoon, webtoon and so on. Among them, this study starts with concrete question; "How can we encourage students to understand 4 panel comic strips better in the educational course of 4 panel comic strips?" 4 panel comic strips divided into two groups, depending on the materials. The first is daily cartoon which depicts the emotion in daily life. The second is editorial cartoon which deals with the problems of society in the ironical and witty way. Judging from my own thoughts that it would be better in the understanding and analysis of structures to take editorial cartoon in which materials are confined to social problems, this study treats rhetoric expression and structures of 4 panel comic strips. Introduction, development, turn and conclusion of "Jangdori" on Kyunghyangsinmoon are good materials for this study. So, "Jangdori" is in the center of this study. The objective of this study is to provide knowledge in creating 4 panel comic strips with the understanding the area of 4 panel comic strips through the analysis of the rhetoric expression and structures of this field. Even though this study has a limit, no access to daily 4 panel comic strips, I hope that this study would be a little help in any places in which the education of 4 panel comic strips is needed as a part of a course of cartoon in college.

Today, China can reestablish its previously prosperous Chinese animation tradition and can make a great plan of recreating earlier characteristic Chinese animation style. In China, TV culture was already here to stay and a large number of foreign countries' animations were entering the Chinese market. Presently, Chinese animation was recognized as time order of 4points: Animation policy, Animation industry, Animation market, and culture. My studies about these issues show the Chinese animation industry has entered an advancing country. I have especially researched into solving these issues with the Korean and Chinese animation & market. As result, I have concluded that the Chinese animation industry must engage itself in foreign animation styles and global market in order to further advance its industry. To help raise its production quality & technique status, I recommend the Chinese government actually give the donations promised to the Chinese animation and culture industries as well as the education system now.

Life Drawing which has its back ground history is major curriculum of famous animation school such as CAL Arts which Disney made and Sheridan College in Canada. But in Korea, a lot of the universities and colleges which have animation department do not really seem to understand the importance of the life drawing and it's effectiveness, thus do not emphasize it as a short cut to get close to the real work field. Now that the academical society as well as industry are very well of the fact that the animation education is directly related to the animation industry, the schools should have to teach step by step and closer to the basic fundamentals. The intentions of this study is to emphasize the importance of the Life Drawing, one of the essential fundamental course, which not only help the universities and colleges that have animation course to organize their curriculum. but also to help the students who graduate the program easily find their position in the animation industry.
