It was a roller coaster ride for three weeks with a bunch of  fifteen colourful personalities of second year animation batch of my alma mater. Its been three years I'm taking illustration course but perhaps this is the first time I actually managed to document each and every of the students work. It was of course a learning experience for me too as they made mistakes and made an effort to overcome the mistake. It was a mix bag of skilled/workaholic/lazy/lackluster personae. This is an effort to put some of the works together and reflection of my teaching abilites. The Class comprised of :
Ketki
Neerav
Aakansha
Nilomee
Mayura
Swathi
Venkatraman
Wangdan
Kirat
Abhishek
Ishika
Esha
Arushi
Neer
Rabindra

" To learn and never be filled is wisdom ; to teach and never be weary is love " .
Cheers to the cinema of wonders !!!!
