Reminded me of my high school students work back in the 1970's.
I started the first film making curriculum in Milwaukee Public Schools.
Those were the days. There were 6 art teachers in my school alone. A 
semester of art was mandatory for graduation. We started animation by 
drawing directly on blank 16mm stock, then on old exposed stock that we 
got for free from the athletics folks and the tv stations. Then we 
moved to the old Super-8 Cameras that allowed single frame. Group 
green-board animation was done in class. We had a very enlightened art 
office in the district and when the very first Sony half inch portable 
systems came our, we got two. Kids could check out equipment overnight 
and weekends, and nothing EVER got stolen!

Ah the good old days.
I even got paid to teacher teacher how to use media in their classrooms.
Now there is hardly an art program at all in Milwaukee.
