This is the place to stay on top of what we are doing at Max The Mutt Animation School
Whatever the magic is, the Concept Art Diploma Program students (we have 5 in year 3, 15 in year 2, 11 in year 1 with 4 more starting in January who will join them for year 2 next September) are everything an educator could ask for. How could it be that group after group exhibit the same passion, work ethic, kindness, and generosity of spirit towards each other? It won’t be long now until I can post some of the work they’re doing this semester. In fact, I’ll try to add some of it to this column by next week.
I’m happy to announce that Alex Ahilov has had an excellent experience with the year 3 students in Advanced Environment Design and Painting in Photoshop, and will return to teach it to year 2 students in January. Sasa Radosavcevic will be teaching Drawing Props & Objects, a follow-up to Structural Drawing, to year 1 students. I’ll b teaching Figurative Painting once again to year 2 students, Roksolana Tchotchieva will be teaching Sustained Figure Drawing, using the Russian Academic approach, to year 3 students. There’s too much to list everything.
When the students are serious, and eager to learn, it motivates instructors to give more than is required. We have passion for the subjects we teach, and it’s exciting to share what we have learned over the years with younger people who share that passion. That’s when teaching generates energy and creativity.
Thank you all, staff, instructors, models and students for contributing to this really unusual learning community.
