Let’s work together

Programs that Mr. B has previously taught and is currently teaching.

Animation

Youth Art Exchange

Mr. B currently teaches animation at Youth Art Exchange (YAX), where students explore the fundamentals of animation while developing their own artistic voices. Through hands-on instruction and industry insights, classes empower young artists to bring their creative ideas to life. YAX is a nonprofit organization that provides free art classes to high school students, making creative education accessible to all.
