PNCA Hand-Drawn Animation Class for Teens
Yep, analog as opposed to digital, sketching not clicking, specifically for illustrators who are 13-, 14- or 15-years old. Neophytes and semi-experienced amateurs welcome.
The class functions as somewhat of a time machine, transporting those born in the mid-1990s back to the era of hand-drawn animation and storyboarding. In other words, Adobe Flash, After Effects, Premiere and Illustrator (et al.) not welcome.
The class meets Saturday mornings in October and November. More details: http://pnca.edu/programs/ce/
