This version has been corrected to state that this was true only of his drawing classes in Israel."<br /><br />There's truth in the media!Amir Avnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878436029210223623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-80266123645634296722010-01-26T20:38:53.550-08:002010-01-26T20:38:53.550-08:00Hey Pete!
Thank you for the kind words of endorse...Hey Pete!<br /><br />Thank you for the kind words of endorsement, and for featuring me here :)<br />Also, the Hirschfeld letters you mentioned are really great! He really loved your stuff and showed so much support of you.<br /><br />I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the article.<br />It's a very kind article, I'm honored to be featured in the Globe, and delighted that they have contacted John and I. There was just one point in the article that was misrepresented.<br />I did mention during the phone interview that some wonderful teachers at Sheridan, like yourself, stress the same drawing principles and teach hands on methodology. When I was asked about my many reasons to contact John k, one of them was that my art education in Israel at the time lacked methodology. <br />About 6 months after getting John's letter I attended a summer storyboarding class at Sheridan College, since I had a good impression of the college, I was motivated to come back and study full time.<br /><br /><br />All the best to you, buddy!<br />And thanks again for voicing my dad character! it adds so much depth to the film.<br />AmirAmir Avnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878436029210223623noreply@blogger.com
