Art and Animation Instructor
Washington D.C
- I like trying different art mediums, even ones I’m still learning.
- I enjoy figuring out how things are made, especially when it involves art or technology.
- I like learning new skills and teaching myself new creative software.
Hi, I'm Sukhmeet Dhingra, an arts and computer animation instructor with one year of experience in education and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Effects from Savannah College of Art and Design. I specialize in students first learning about art and animation through creative and interactive instruction that is both engaging and play-based. My teaching philosophy centers on the belief that every child has an artistic and creative side, even if they can't express it. My belief is that instruction should be inclusive to match each and every student's needs and interests, and I strive to create a learning environment that makes everyone feel confident to both express themselves and learn something new each and every day. Before I went into teaching, I worked as a freelance 3D artist, which gives me a unique perspective on connecting art and animation skills with instruction. When I'm not in the classroom, I am usually creating art and animations for myself.
