Hi there! awesome to find another person going into sophmore year of high school here. I don't know how much help I can be with improving, but what has helped me is trying to draw as much life as i can. pets, people, scenery, still life, etc. and focusing on shading/ light source so it looks like the form has weight. I also recommend trying to get out of your comfort zone and draw things you don't usually draw. Sorry if I wasn't much help! -

Hi Bethiboo, I thanks for the advice, sometimes it's just a great reminder!
The requirements for CSSSA animation program are:
A. One drawing or painting that shows what you feel is unique about yourself.
B. One drawing or painting of any subject that interests you. You might consider an emotion, memory, song, place or thing. Provide an explanation of the work on a separate sheet of paper, and include the poem, or lyrics if appropriate.
C. One drawing or painting that you feel demonstrates your technical skills.
D. Either a flip book that has at least 25 pages, or a video on either a CD, mini-DVD, full-size DVD, or USB flashdrive formats ONLY, of an animation you have created that demonstrates your understanding of motion. -
