TEACHING VISUAL DEVELOPMENT FOR ANIMATION
This summer, I’ve been teaching Visual Development for Animation at IADT in Dún Laoghaire, Dublin. I initially developed a one-week intensive course in collaboration with Avenue Cove, covering design fundamentals, portfolio development and industry insights. Since then, I’ve returned twice to deliver this course to different year groups.
I really enjoy sharing my experience with the next generation of artists and helping students develop their creative skills and prepare for the industry.
