Class Experience

This is a class for children who have a serious interest in animation. 

This is an ongoing animation workshop for children who want to learn more about animation and have a desire to improve their animation skills. It's highly recommended that your child have experience making their own animations or take own of my more introductory animation classes.

In this class children will have the opportunity to work on whatever animation projects they wish and be able to work in the method of their choosing. Children are highly encouraged to share their work often and get feedback to improve their work.

The class is highly self-directed and the topics covered are determined by the needs and interests of the students.

All animation techniques are welcome and children are allowed to work on paper, digitally, or in clay or stop motion if they desire. There are a number of digital animation apps available and feel free to reach out if you need help selecting one.

Each class children are given the time and space to work on their own projects. Children are encouraged to share any work they've done during the week at the beginning of every class. 

In addition to giving children the opportunity to work on their own projects during class we will also be watching animation clips and discussing what is going on in them. As well as discussing different aspects of animation, various challenges, and how to solve them.

Children are allowed to start and stop projects as they see fit. As well as work of larger projects week to week.

Some of the topics covered in this class will be:
Keyframe animation
Character acting
Posing and gestures
Timing and sequencing
and more

Children are always encouraged to ask about topics they are interested in and subsequent classes may follow these requests. Learners who are new to the class will quickly be brought up to speed and more advanced learners may have the opportunity to share and demonstrate what they've learned with their new classmates.

Animation is one of the most rewarding art forms there is. It allows your children to literally bring their drawings to life. I can't wait to see what your learner creates!

Learning Goals

Students will improve their understanding and knowledge of animation. As well as improve and push their skills and technical ability on a weekly basis. In addition to gaining experience in learning how to discuss and talk about animation in a group setting.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Brian and I am an artist and illustrator from Los Angeles, California. I am a classically trained in fine art and animation. In addition to making art I really enjoy teaching youth and helping them to develop their own unique form of creativity.

I have a number of years teaching and working with youth in various after school programs. I truly believe to that learning should be fun and I strive to provide an environment that is enriching, safe, and creatively nurturing. Students will be encouraged to express themselves artistically and to add their own imagination to the lessons.

Currently, I offer daily and weekly, cartooning courses. These are ongoing classes and the lessons evolve as course progresses, so children that wish to repeat the class will have new material to work from. These are entry level classes designed for anyone with an interest in drawing. All skill levels are welcome. Classes are non-competitive and each student is encouraged to do their own personal best. I believe that students can learn a lot from drawing with each other. In these classes students will have the opportunity to learn from myself but also each other as well.

In addition, I will be offering limited one time classes. This is a good way to test out the course and see if your child would be interested in one of the longer classes. These classes are also a option for tutoring if your child has specific drawing goals. If your child has special needs please reach out and let me know before the first class so I can make any necessary adjustments.
