Instructor(s)

Eric Sinha

Hi, I'm Eric Sinha. I live in Park Hill with my wife and kids, and teach animation at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. My journey of education began when I was a camp counselor teaching video creation and game design. I worked at the tech camp for 5 years and became the director. Working with kids and exploring art together is one of the most rewarding feelings in my life.

My BFA was in film and later a traditional animation degree from Don Bluth University. Don Bluth was the creator of incredible films like All Dogs Go to Heaven, Land Before Time, and Anastasia. It was an incredible experience that left a lasting impact and guided my life towards animation.

It's my mission to bring animation and storytelling to the students of Denver and the surrounding areas.
