American Animation Institute/ Animation Guild Classes  
Basic Figure Drawing
Tuesday's starting after January 5th
10:30AM-4:00PM

This class will be an in-depth study of anatomy and how it is used in drawing. Recommended Materials: drawing board, pencils, paper (any size).  

Cartoon animation in the United States is at a crisis point. The classic animators of the "golden age of animation" have almost all retired, and too many of the greats have passed away. Few attempts have been made to pass the wealth of these artists' knowledge to a new generation.  The American Animation Institute was founded in 1980 by the Animation Guild and Affiliated Optical Electronic and Graphic Arts, Local 839 IATSE, to further the art of the animated cartoon in the United States through educational and other activities.

This class is managed by the Animation Guild.  All classes will be held at the Animation Guild's NEW location!  1105 N. Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA 93510.
 Please contact Lynn at the Animation Guild for details and enrollment in this class.

UCLA
Glenn currently teaches in the Master's of Animation program at UCLA. His classes there are held during the fall and winter quarters and are only for students enrolled in the Master's program.

 

Not sure if you are ready to take a class from Glenn in person?  We often hear questions from "I'm not sure if I am good enough yet" to "I am not sure if I will get anything out of it since I am already very accomplished, a professional, or a teacher".  There is a wide range in the experience and training of the artists in Glenn's classes.  Glenn will give his lectures and demonstrations and then help each artist at their own level.  There is usually a mix of students of all ages and skill levels as well as professionals and teachers.  While Glenn's method is ideal for beginners, he is also known as the "teacher's teacher".  No matter what your skill level, you will find it very comfortable to be in this supportive, non-competitive environment.

Other Possibilities
We were working out the details of how we can best help you Learn to Draw Like a Renaissance Master, and it became apparent that not everyone would be needing the same level of involvement, so we are looking at having several levels of participation. There might be something that works better for you!

  • The basic involvement that many of you are already participating in is the E-mail Drawing Demonstration Series

  • We finally have the back issues of this Email Drawing Demonstration Series available.

  • Do you have an idea of somewhere that Glenn could come for a guest lecture?   

  • Would you be interested in attending a webinar (web seminar)?
