Laura Bellmont is an illustrator and NYC DOE certified educator who has been teaching in the NYC Metro area for over fifteen years. She is the founder and lead teacher of "The Little Animation Studio" (formerly The Good School). Laura received her masters degree in Arts Education from Pratt Institute and graduated with honors. She has created an original method of teaching that is rooted in her consideration of each student as a unique learner. Laura regards her teaching practice as a living art form. With each new program, Laura and a small team of highly skilled educators, animators, artists and art therapists, work together to create a new approach to teaching by using stop motion animation filmmaking as their vehicle to impart more complex skill sets and concepts. TLAS designs workshops that cultivate commercial and traditional art making skills, communication and collaboration, problem solving and the mindful use of technology. Each curriculum is shaped to accommodate the needs of our partners by creating original lesson plans for every engagement.
