Summer Cartooning/Animation Teacher

I am responsible for teaching students how to formulate ideas and create cartoons from them. I am also responsible for helping students take these ideas and make hand drawn, stop motion, and/or flash animations with them. After my second week, the number of students that had signed up for my class had increased. The number of students continued to increase every week. I make it a point that every student should be able to bring physical copies of there animations home with them at the end of the week. Also, I make a special area for student to keep their work so that they did not have to carry it around with them all day.
