About Karl’s Special “GUILD PRICE”
A Special Price for a Special Time

Karl has been a life drawing/figure drawing teacher at the Animation Guild’s nonprofit school, the American Animation Institute (AAI), for 28 years. As a public service, the Animation Guild has always kept its pricing extremely reasonable, and its 12-week semester classes have also been available to the public as well as members of the Animation Guild.

Due to the worldwide Coronavirus Pandemic, all of the AAI’s classes have been temporarily suspended through the 2020 summer and fall semesters. So the Animation Guild is supporting and assisting Karl in offering his own summer and fall terms of live classes online.

In the spirit of the AAI’s mission, Karl is offering his summer live online classes at similar reasonable rates that the AAI usually charges its students. We call this his special “Guild prices”.

Karl’s class terms are 10 weeks long, with a schedule of three 3-hour weekday evening classes, and one 3-hour Saturday morning class. Karl’s classes, along with the special Guild Prices, are available to the public, as well as to members of the Animation Guild. All skill levels are welcome.

Now that Karl’s classes are live online, this opens up who can participate as students, and students from around not only the country, but the world can now take his popular classes. Keep in mind that Karl likes to keep his class sizes small so that he can provide more personalized attention, which means that there are limited spaces available for each class.

These classes are being independently hosted and taught by Karl, via Zoom, so be sure to sign up early and make the payment to secure your space.

Karl is also offering one on one consulting and training.

Under the extreme conditions of the Coronavirus, it seems that we’ve been left with a lifestyle of few choices. Here we are, wrapped up in our little caves with nothing to do but binge tv.

But we can also look at this as an opportunity. This might be a good time to dig in and address those things that we haven’t been able to manage time for before.

For us artists, this is a moment when we can take advantage of attending live stream figure drawing classes and workshops with our favorite teachers and models. This not only breaks the monotony but gives us a sense of community. Safe community.

It’s in this spirit that I am offering my new online figure drawing classes. We’ll have terrific models participating live, where you can draw from the comfort of your home or wherever you happen to be, and practice your style and technique, so you can make major advances in your skill level.

Changing your skill level is paramount. And no amount of drawing without this ‘change’ will bring the quick evolution in your skill level that I know you are truly seeking.

The only way to do this is with ideas and guidance, which will press you towards your edges, ultimately encouraging you to confidently jump the fences of your own comfort zones.

I’m adapting my way of teaching to meet the challenge of these times, and invite you to continue your artistic journey online with me on ZOOM.

See you soon
