I am teaching animation basics to high school students.  Here are some of the examples I have used and examples I plan on using.

The first example is a really really crudely done ball bounce.  Before I made the ball bounce they had zero ability to visualize what I was talking about.

The next thing I taught them was the leaf test AKA the feather test.  Here it is, also fairly crude.

Here is a more fun (hopefully) project to teach the kids.  I want them to do a morph between 2 objects.  In my case I did a whale to a boat.  But since it is a very basic class I will instead likely have them morph a circle into a square or a star into a circle, just morphing shapes to start.  This assignment is also good because we have only 5 computers for 12 kids so I put them in groups of 2 and have them take turns drawing the frames.

This is the walk cycle I will show them, I doubt they will get this far but if they do HOORAY!

This is my most recent collection of doodles and sketches from my last two sketchbooks.

BINGO WINGS

My senior film.  The story of an old lady that gets BINGO and hijinks ensue.

My 2014 demo reel

A year ago while I was still at college I work on a ZINE called Moist City.  A ZINE just for the record is short for magazine but it is normally smaller in literal size, that is why the letters are big in order to make up for the paper that is small.  I always read the word with a hard "I" and it reminds me of Dasein, which has nothing to do with anything.  Anyway, the subject of Moist City was all things moist.  My friend Kevin came would describe things as moist and his friend Nick thought this was very funny and was interested in ZINEs so this was his first ZINE.

Here are 2 of the 3 things I submitted to it:

This one I pitched as "the dry page" because the rest of the ZINE was going to be so moist that I thought people might need a break.

This one was selected, some of the background elements where taken out like the head in the top left and the t shaped thing in the top right.

The third drawing I submitted I could not find because it was half digital.  It was a 6 frame comic based on the opening of Citizen Kane where instead of him saying "rosebud" he says "moist city" and it was first page on the ZINE.   If I can locate a physical copy I will update this.

The composition makes it look like there is some kind of story going on.
