WE WERE ALSO JOINED BY ARIEL PRADO, (Pictured above) DIRECTOR OF THE UNIVERISDAD DE ARTES DIGITALES OF MEXICO. Mr. Prado was drawn to Max the Mutt because his is a new school with an educational philosophy similar to that of Max the Mutt: we are both small schools that mentor students, emphasize drawing skills, and believe in teaching classical animation before computer animation. Mr. Prado is interested in a potential exchange of students and instructors.
