Your Student's Literature Skills Can Only Be Improved

Connect the Thoughts Animation I - Gummy Cat Project is an awesome course! It provides rich experiences for students in many ways.

As a home educating parent, I was concerned that I would not be able to provide my daughter with instruction in fields of the arts that I am not familiar with, or comfortable with. As I have no training in animation, I would never have expected that I would be able to provide her with instruction in animation and the art of creating a storyboard. Connect the Thoughts has changed that. As my daughter has developed a love for drawing animated cartoon characters, I can now provide her with professional instruction in our own home.

Connect the Thoughts Animation courses do not teach drawing skills, but provide professional instruction in creating a storyboard. The student is expected to use their own drawing skills and programs. In my opinion, this is of benefit as the students are free to draw their characters without the fear of their art work being judged to a specific level. Their drawing skills can develop and improve as they learn to analyze a script or literature, and create a storyboard using professional techniques. There are many excellent drawing programs out there and the key to learning to draw is practice, practice, practice! They are free to learn their animation skills, and draw their characters at their own drawing skill levels.

Your student's literature skills can only be improved by the Gummy Cat Animation course. To produce a storyboard, it is necessary to analyze the script (or literature) to determine the physical characteristics of the characters and background settings. To do this, the student must be able to read and understand the script very well, as well as look for hidden details that might not be explicitly stated in the text. As a professional makeup artist, I was trained to determine the physiognomy of the characters based on analysis of the script or literature. This required the ability to read between the lines and truly understand what was being read. The study of this can only enhance your student's literature skills.

My daughter is really looking forward to working on Gummy Cat this summer. You can't put a value on that type of enthusiasm!

We are planning to use the more advanced levels of the CTT Animation courses and would highly recommend them to anyone!
