Apparently I'm talking/'teaching' animation and student life for a day or something at my old schools...

Ever since I moved to university my old teacher from Harrogate College has wanted me to revisit my old classroom and sort of 'show off' the work I've been doing; Apparently this is going to happen, in the next 2 week in fact. She said it would be nice to show the current students studying fine art what it's like going to study at university and what sort of areas you can go into, considering a year ago I was fine art and now I'm an animation student. I don't think many students want to go into university and think they can make it as a creative purely by getting a job and having talent when in fact I strongly believe university life is beneficial to a carer in the creative arts - purely because having your work noticed and show cased is far more effective then waiting for someone to offer you a job maybe out of the blue. That sort of show casing and notification is basically what university is, at least for animation students... (in my opinion)

THINGS I AM NOT ALLOWED TO FORGOT TO BRING  

• Sketchbook and concept work (Because concept work including script writing and sketchbooks is important yo)
• Test animations and experimental work
• Final animations 
• Bloopers (including sound recordings bloopers)

I know most of the students at Harrogate college, at least the second years... So i shouldn't be too nervous on the day. 

The other day I was in town with an old friend of mine, who happens to be the son of my old art teacher from highschool. She's also friends with my mother, who works at the same school so I was aware she was eager to get me in to 'teach' the students about the sort of stuff I do and create. I was offered a free lift home so I took it, and ended up agreeing to come into my old highschool to spend a day with the current year 9 students on animation. She also wanted me to talk about why it's important to keep a sketchbook with you all the time because I'm always drawing... 

I'm looking forward to doing both talks/teachings but I'm super nervous about it all!
