I still have classes available for sign up at WAM

Even though both my July classes are full now, there's still time to sign up for Drawing For Animation and Pop Art Painting if you have an 11 to 13 year old who has an interest in those areas. Click on the link below to sign up for those classes:

Since I will be teaching my very first Drawn Animation class in the Fall, this class is a fantastic prerequisite to either my class or Andy Fish's claymation classes. It will give you both characters and potential stories you can use in the classes.

Last day of classes

This session has been pretty good. I've had good students in my Thursday class and both of my Saturday class even though I found by the eighth week I was pretty burned out when it concerned all things Samurai. I was probably luck to be able to squeak out as many projects as I did with that subject matter.

But for the most part this session went really well. Especially my Saturday afternoon Comics on Computer Class. I was really impressed with the quality of work that came out of that class and how adventurous the students were with what the created.

This was actually my first class I taught for the computer at the Art Museum. I had kind of held back from teaching a class over the past couple of years because I wasn't terribly sure if I knew what I was doing as far as doing graphic design sort of stuff. But since I have been able to do quite a bit more work on the Photoshop, I've become a bit more comfortable with the idea of teaching a computer class.

And I'm really looking forward to the Fall Session since I will be teaching a Drawn Animation class. As I have stated in a few past blog posts, it's been a pet project that I've wanted to get off the ground for a few years now. And seeing the success of the Claymation classes on the computer, I think it was time to start a traditional drawn animation class at WAM.

Well, I've got an hour or so to go before class ends. And then it's onto the Summer session. If you've got a talented kid who loves art, log onto www.worcesterart.org and sign them up online or stop by the Art Museum and pick up a brochure there.
