About Tom C.

I excel at helping people improve their mechanics and decision making, whether you are a beginner or an expert strategist
I not only play games, but am an expert with computer and console hardware, to make sure you have the best possible setup for good play
I started playing games with nes mario when I was probably about 2 years old, and I have experience with everything, included but not limited to, fps, rts, moba, turn based strategy, action/adventure, rpg, sports, racing
About Tom
I have always loved teaching people things that I enjoy, sharing my experience with others, and helping people realize their own potential.
I am a musician, a martial artist, and a general IT guru.
Music and martial arts runs in my family, and I was raised around them from a very young age.
As a child, I was always fascinated with computers, and had to know everything I could about them.
My teaching style is a bit unorthodox, focusing more on philosophy and personal introspection than traditional "memorize and practice" methods, and is very mind, body, and spirit oriented.
Feel free to ask me questions for more information.
I look forward to hearing from you.

About Joey F.

I will teach you how to make video games! I teach the following programs:
Scratch 2.0 - a great program to learn for beginners or children 8 and up! Put together code "blocks" like puzzle pieces to program your game!
Stencyl - For making games without typing code! Similar to Scratch where blocks of code are used, but much more powerful!
Unity - For making 2D and 3D games. We will use a little bit of C# language to code the games!
Game Art - Create game art and animation sprites for your games using Adobe Animate and Adobe Photoshop!
Children or Adults can take any of these programs. I recommend 8+ years for Scratch and 10+ years for Unity. 12+ years to really get into more actual c# coding.
Start your path to becoming a game maker today!
About Joey
We are all artists-in-progress because, no matter how good we are, we can always get better!
I'm Mr. Joey and I love art and I love teaching art! I am a graduate of The Art Institute and an artist and animator that creates art in pencil, charcoal, pastel, watercolor, and digital mediums.
I recommend that classes are *at least* 1.5 hours (and I really recommend 2 hours!) because that's what's needed to critique homework assignments, warmup, and do the work for the class, and not be rushed.
Classes I teach are:
• Drawing Fundamentals
• Advanced Drawing
• People and Anatomy
• Portrait Drawing
• Cartoon Characters for Animation
• Character Design
• 2D Animation
• Digital Painting in Photoshop
• Digital Animation
Please view samples of my work and contact me with any questions you may hav
I look forward to helping you develop your art skills and express your creativity!
Mr. Joey
