Use of cartoons created from numbers to enliven classroom instruction and cognitive development

It has been found that using numbers as beginning shapes to create cartoon figures and characters has the potential for art integrated learning; dual-coded learning and and enhancing visual intelligence.

However, cartoon characters created drawing numbers first and adding outlines and suggestive strokes should not be confused directly using numbers one to nine with eyes, arms and legs as independent cartoon characters.

According to Christopher Hart - the author of the book "Drawing Cartoons from Numbers: Create Fun Characters from 1 To 1001", for classroom use through 'wildly creative collection of cartoon characters all drawn with a simple number as the starting point' can be helpful to the teachers to make communication effective 'for supplementing children's education in numbers and the many ways they can be used'.

Inspired by Hart's work, I tried to create a cartoon character of a girl in stick drawing style with numbers 0, 6 and 11 as illustrated in the inset short video.
