Art and control engineering: developing a 2D animated cartoon on system modeling for students by students

In the context of the Open Invited Track ``Beyond Art \& Control \& Engineering'', this paper reports insights from the development of an animated cartoon by undergraduate students of CentraleSupélec on system modeling, as part of the ``$\infty$sCaR – 2D Animated Cart$\infty$ns for Control Education Rise'' project. Combining Art and Control Education, the aim of this short animated cartoon is to support students' learning by adding an artistic dimension to basic system modeling concepts. The creative process design of this animated cartoon is detailed in this paper, from the brainstorming phase to the artistic and scientific considerations leading to the script and the storyboard. Feedback from the project participants and lessons learned are also provided. The video is available on the IFAC YouTube channel \url{https://tinyurl.com/ooscarsystemmodeling}.
