Yr 1 Chloe Hebert Animation Journal

Hello! My name is Chloe Hebert, and I am a first year animation student coming all the way from Anchorage, Alaska. I've been interested in animation and art my whole life. I grew up watching animated shows and movies, most of which I still watch and find absolutely magical. I guess I chose to study animation in hopes of creating a part of that magic.   Some of my favorite animated shows include: Avatar the Last Airbender, the Legend of Korra, Over the Garden Wall, Phineas and Ferb, Hilda, and Gravity Falls Some of my favorite animated movies include: How to Train Your Dragon, Song of the Sea, Princess Mononoke, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Secret of Kells, Prince of Egypt and Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse
