DISADA'S PETER ADAMAKOS TO TEACH TWO COURSES

DISADA'S PETER ADAMAKOS TO TEACH TWO COURSES

There are still some places available for two weekly classes Peter
will be teaching at the Ottawa School of Art. The courses start in a
little over a week from now, with a late registration cutoff of
September 28. Each course runs thirteen weeks. One is a practical
course on animation. There are some who want to work in animation and
some who just love animation and want to know more about it. A great
course for preparing a portfolio to submit to companies or schools.
While all animation disciplines are covered, each student can
specialize in storyboards, character design and so on as they work on
their project for three months.

It is a lively class with lots of discussion and interaction, often
functioning more like a studio than a classroom. There is much use of
films and original animation artwork from Disada's large collection.

The second course is titled "Children's Book Illustration". It too is
a weekly course for three months and has in the past when offered
attracted both published and non-published authors. It deals with
writing, publishing and marketing as well as illustration.

Both classes are held at the school in the Byward Market in the
evening or Sunday afternoons. For more information see the Ottawa
School of Art website or to register online at www.Artottawa.ca or in
person at the school itself. The fee is $250 for the thirteen week
course.

Peter has taught animation, film and other courses since the 1970s as
a way of giving back to the industry he works in. Many of his students
have gone on to fine careers in their chosen professions. Among the
places Peter has taught are the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, courses
for the city, Carleton University, for the federal government and
elsewhere. He has been invited to guest lecture at schools, colleges
and universities in many cities in Canada and the USA. He has also
been a guest speaker or guest of honor at a number of film festivals
in both Canada and the USA.
