Class Experience

This class is packed full of information and encouragement for young artists who are interested in animation!

As an animation teacher, I get students all the time who are terrified of animation and art classes in general because they think it's too hard or they don't draw well enough and I always let them know that YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A GOOD ARTIST TO BE A GOOD ANIMATOR! Animation is super fun and super easy and I truly believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the joy of animation!

During this class I will be answering multiple questions that will be helpful to launching your journey in animation:
-What types of animation are there?
-Is practicing animation expensive?
-What tools/materials do I need to animate?
-If I don't draw well, can I still animate?
-What online resources are available to help me grow in art and animation?
-Do people go to college for animation? 
-What does pursuing a career in animation look like?
-HOW DO I ANIMATE??

*Please keep in mind that although I will be drawing and going over animation basics, this class is MOSTLY informational for students. If you are interested in some of my animation classes, please check my profile and schedule to see what animation classes I am currently offering :)

I hope that this class will be valuable to aspiring artists/animators of all ages and artistic backgrounds!
Learning Goals
'Students will learn all the basics in getting started in all types of animation (traditional/ 2D Digital/ Stop Motion/ Motion Graphics/ 3D). I have a list of questions to go over and will leave time to answer student's specific questions, if they have any. My goal is to open the world of animation to young artists and show that there are so many ways you can get started and it's SO much easier and cheaper than a lot of people realize!
