My Crealde Urban Sketching students were give the challenge to sketch the classroom and include as many of their fellow students as they could in the sketch. I settled in and joined them. Students who wore masks discussed why they choose to do so. One student like myself has never been infected by COVID-19 and it trying to keep it that way. The other student recently recovered from COVID-19 and has no desire to be re-infected. Since 2/3 of the students now choose to not ear masks, I keep the studio door open on the rare days we work inside.
Most of my classes these days are virtual for Elite Animation Academy. I enjoy the virtual classes because I get to work with students one on one and I am sketching along with them so they see how I work at all times. My feedback is far more immediate and interactive online. With the online courses we are learning the foundations of sketching, character design and animating. I particularly enjoy teaching animation since I get to animate a scene with the students every class.
