What do Bart Simpson, Tom, Jerry and Roger Rabbit have in common? One word: animation. Creative and enchanting, animation these days is aided by cutting-edge technology to take on a world of varying digital forms.
That in itself is interesting enough. What’s even more exciting, if you’ve got this far into the blog, is the chance for YOU to learn how to teach animation to the kids who frequent 1A ARTS etc in the hope to one day become the next Quentin Blake or Matt Groening. Specifically, we want to recruit and train 4 peer educators – 1 male/1 female aged 16-17 and 1 male/1 female aged 18-1 – to support and teach animation to young people aged 8-15yrs.
Intense one day workshops will be taking place in February. Besides a brilliant thing to pop on your CV, you’ll also receive a national volunteering recognised certificate (after supporting a few sessions) to show to potential employers, colleges or universities.
You never know – we’ve also been known to take on paid staff who prove themselves to be true shining stars in these sessions. So, if you fancy giving your career aspirations a boost and unleashing your inner animator, we want to hear from you.
As they say in the cartoons, “That’s All Folks”.
