Drawing guru Glenn Vilppu is visiting The Animation Workshop to teach a masterclass in classical drawing on August 29th - 30th 2015! In over 45 years of teaching drawing, Glenn’s focus has been to bring to the student logic and practical application of drawing in communication. Drawing is thinking and feeling and the needs of the artist today to communicate are no different than they have been down through the ages. Glenn does not teach a style, he teaches tools of communication and gives direction to acquiring knowledge. More on the masterclass

The Animation Workshop bachelor films are making the festival rounds, racking up some pretty nifty selections along the way. Festival de Cannes found room for a TAW film again with Tsunami featured in this year's student/debut short competition. And the prestigious Annecy animation festival featured two graduation films in the "sélection officielle", Parrot Away and The Great Harlot and the Beast. Further selections include SICAF in South Korea, Anima Mundi in Brazil and Holland Animation Film Festival in, well, Holland! The new graduation films are available for viewing on our YouTube and Vimeo channels.
