Student Talks Minority Representation in Animation with EPCHS Art Club
EVERGREEN PARK, IL – In Art Club at Evergreen Park Community High School earlier this month, Senior Canaan McCadd taught the students about Minority Representation in Animation.
Canaan shared his passion for animation as well as the importance of having diverse character representations with a multitude of traits.
To demonstrate to the art club the importance of the problem, he gave both positive and negative examples.
After his presentation, art club students shared their own thoughts and incorporated what they learned into character designs. The topic idea was part of a writing prompt on ‘Being the Change’ in Canaan's college writing class, and art club was happy to be included in his project.
Art Club sponsor Mrs. Libby McArthur is incredibly proud of Canaan for being an inspiration and catalyst of change to his fellow EP students.
