Animation Group teaches and mentors 5th- through 12th-grade students in Colorado Springs in digital and traditional art for making animated cartoons and stories, covering character design, scriptwriting, voiceover acting and animation itself. Founded by Nathan Fisher for artistic students who were not thriving in school art programs, it runs classes, after-school and summer programs, and brings the same instruction directly onto local school campuses. Summer session format and daily hours are not published.

Powered by GoogleI am always so excited to join this class because even though I have been in it for almost 7 years, I learn something new every time. This class has challenged me and helped me try new things that otherwise would have intimidated me in the past with art. The environment of the class is incredibly welcoming and fun and Mr.Fisher is always eager to help. I have been able to use a lot of what I've learned in this class in actual animation jobs. This class is perfect for beginners as well as for those who have been doing art for a long time. I always recommend this class to those who are wanting to learn more about art as well as those who want to take their skills to the next level.
It's a brilliant, step by step process teaching at paces for all levels! Mr. Fisher found a way to make, both online and in person, positive experiences that build upon drawing and animating skills. Definitely recommend as I have learned tons of new skills for the industry AND made new friends and allies in the group! Will be returning to classes soon happy to learn and experience more!
[In comparison to other animation programs,] It's has been like a million times better. Other classes I've tried always made us focus on very specific stuff, but here we have more creative freedom which is a dream come true. I feel like I've received great benefit and value from this experience because of reasons I've already stated but because they make me so happy I'll gladly say them again :) The whole community that I was introduced to was something I have wanted for a very long time. A community full of people who like to draw! No matter what kind of things they like I am happy we can all interact. I feel like I was able to bond more with some people more than others, but overall I feel like I have made some sort of friendship with everyone.
Mr. Fisher is a very cool teacher who always listens to the students. He talks to us about what we like and how we can apply it in class. I like the more motivating class like when we covered how famous artists got started. I’ve made some great connections from the class! Thank you for the great time!
Compared to other classes I have tried in the past, I actually have motivation to do things when taking this class. When I try other art tutorials or classes that are purely online, I’m not motivated to continue. I LOVE THIS CLASS. THE PEOPLE, THE CONTENT, MY TEACHER, ALL OF IT. BECAUSE OF THIS CLASS, I’ve been challenging myself a lot more in my art and taking risks. As a result, my art is significantly improving.
