“The Art with Animation course has taught me so many new skills throughout the year. It has been a joy to work amongst others who share the same passion as myself. I found I was constantly learning from everyone around me! The course gave me the opportunity to try out new mediums and styles of art. It really helped me to improve my ability and figure out what I liked.”
