SORRY! YOU MISSED IT.
Animation Resources is hosting monthly events on its Discord server. Join us the last Sunday of every month to participate in discussions and network with fellow artists from all over the world. The doors open at 4:30 pm (PDT) and the program begins at 5:30 pm.
THIS MONTH’S PROGRAM
Our schedule of monthly programs under the banner Discord Discussions continues Sunday February 27th!
What most people know about animation history is what’s written in the books. They know about Winsor McCay, Harman and Ising, and Disney, but what about the artists who inspired these pioneers? The art of cartooning has a long history that predates animation by several hundred years&mdah; not just in America, but across the globe. Hokusai, known by many to be the "Father of Manga", was illustrating cartoons as far back as the 1700s, and that is only the tip of the iceberg. Much of this story is yet to be discovered by the animation community.
Join Animation Resources Programming Director Davey Jarrell and President Stephen Worth on Sunday, February 27th on Discord as they discuss the work of Hokusai and other Japanese artists, and find out how it fits into the history of cartooning on a grander scale. We’ll also be talking about upcoming offerings in Animation Resources’ Reference Packs, so you won’t want to miss it! Doors open at 4:30pm PST and the program starts at 5:30 PST.

ABOUT DISCORD
Discord is a free chat app that supports video, voice chat and text chat. Discord servers are divided into channels, which all have their own subject or theme of discussion. Members are assigned roles which helps everyone keep track of who’s who. The Animation Resources Discord channel is a virtual meeting place for our supporters. You can meet other Animation Resources members, talk with the people behind the scenes at our organization, and attend lectures and screenings— all without leaving your home.
