“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
I love to teach. After studying animated film, I decided to follow a specific teacher training and, as an internship, taught animated film to children, high schoolers, and first year animation students in RITCS, Brussels.
I also like to give workshops, such as learning how to draw cartoons for an afternoon.
Since 2023, I have been teaching visual arts and animation to children and youth at Sask Roeselare.

Ritcs Animation
In 2017, I taught basic character-animation principles in the first year of RITCS.
The lessons included ‘squash and stretch’, walk and run cycles, overlapping action, following a modelsheet and so on.
If you want to have an overview, you can watch the video on the left.

Walk cycle of a fat man
In this lesson, the task is about the overlapping action of the belly. How does the belly move when the character goes down, or up?

What did the internship counselors (a.k.a. the teachers) think of me?
