How This Collection Is Used in My School

Students utilize this CCD to learn more about animation and illustration. There are practical guides to how to draw, paint, and animate. There are also career guides, and creative works that focus on what it is like to be active in these fields. The goal is to allow students to see themselves as potential creators of animated and graphic works in various capacities.
