Teaching Philosophy

Animation is a great way to tell stories and express oneself, and everyone can learn it. The teaching philosophy is to give learners the appropriate space to explore their passions and take risks while giving them the skills and information they need to thrive in the animation world. It is essential to foster each learner's distinctive personality and perspective toward design innovation and to assist learners in discovering their talents and interests while pushing them to explore new design frontiers by offering a variety of learning options and encouraging experimentation. Classrooms, both inside and outside, should include real-world experiences and industrial contacts to teach learners about the animation industry and provide them with the skills and information they need by collaborating with other professionals. As an animation professor, one of my goals is to motivate and encourage learners to challenge limitations, follow their passions, realize their potential, and innovate & create.
