"My students were thrilled with the Animation class that you taught this spring. They have continued to bring in flip books as well as design their own. What I especially liked about it was that everyone was successful! The final product that you produced included the work of everyone in our class. They were so delighted to finally see their own work and the work of their class mates put together. I think they really appreciated the paper and pencil work combined with technology and put to music. It was a very rich and wonderful experience working with you, Wendy. Thank you for all your hard work for us. I thought your class was so terrific for everybody that I'm very excited to do it again!"
-Suzy Peters, 3rd Grade Teacher

"The students loved the videos and had some good criticism of their strengths and weaknesses. They commented that detail was important as was color. Two of our kids made a copy of the video and we all plan on using it next year as an inspiration. Thank you for such a delightful project."
-Kasey Jeffers, 6th Grade teacher

"After our vacation in Seattle we went to California and we are now back on Maui. I am so glad to have found your animation class while doing an Internet search of things to do in Seattle. Sherron is anxiously waiting for her animation video to arrive in the mail so she can share it with her 5th grade class. I noticed that every day that I came to pick up Sherron after her 3 hour class, she did not want to leave. It was one of the highlights of her 20 day Washington/California trip. She draws cartoons everyday and it has been a dream of hers to put "life" into her characters. Because of your art class, some of her art dreams have become reality for her. Thanks for teaching her animation. She hopes to make a short movie one day."
-Eddie Bautista, Parent

"My son, Joe, was in your workshop last week. Just wanted to let you know he LOVED it and is telling everyone "it fit in with his plan to have his own animation studio when he is older". We got the video today and it is so great. The music and the animation pieces the kids created fit perfectly together and the finished product made my son glow with pride. Just wanted to thank you and let you know it was a huge success on this end."
-Denel Bartsch, Parent

"I wanted to relay to you that we received so much positive feedback re: your Animation course on September 11th. The first grade teacher, Cindy, showed your video during school hours and was welcomed with a chorus of "Are we going to get to do that again?"
-Natasha Moni, Extended Day Director, the Island School

My son has been doing his own clay animation projects since he took your class last year and is having a blast."
-Laurie Isenman, Parent

"Saul loved his camp with you. As we were leaving the building he looked back and said 'good bye favorite camp'. It was very sweet."
-Cindy Goodwin, Parent

"You really teach a great class and Sam really loves it! Thanks again for offering such great classes and creative opportunities for island kids!"
-Terry Siebert, Parent

"This is like an art class on steroids!"
