Class Experience

***This class is part of the Studio Ghibli Series. Each class will be on a particular Studio Ghibli film and focus on a particular theme. Each class is different as some are geared for young learners, to high school level lectures, and middle school discussions. Some classes are also art classes. Please read the descriptions in it's entirety.***

I conduct the Studio Ghibli series on Outschool. I am a huge Hayao Miyazaki fan and have been studying his work for a number of years. I have been a personal fan for over 25 years. My classes focus on Hayao Miyazaki himself and I conduct lecture courses on other Studio Ghibli films (ex. Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Ponyo, Princess Mononoke).  
I also conduct over ten different types of anime drawing courses. 
My art teaching practices focus on art, anime and Studio Ghibli.

1 hour per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

The MPAA rating for this film is G.
