Taught By A Pro company information, Employees & Contact Information

After working at Disney feature animation for over 11 years, lecturing at art schools, video game and animation studios, and writing some of the best-selling books on the subject of character design, Tom Bancroft, President of Taught By A Pro, had a few ideas about how WE learn as artists. We believe that we learn by Listening, Watching, then Doing – then Doing again, and again. We believe that we learn best in a HEAR, SEE, DO style. We need to HEAR an experienced instructor explain a concept, SEE he/she illustrate that point, and then DO it yourself via an assignment given by the PRO. We add to this philosophy by also having the PRO do the same assignment so you can see how they apply their experience to the same challenges YOU faced. Seeing an experienced artist face the same challenge you did is one of the best ways to learn! Second to teaching YOU, the artistic student, our goal with Taught By A Pro is to create a site where previously untapped PRO artists can pass along their knowledge onto the world. We want to do this in the same way we buy music on iTunes: rather than buying the entire album, you can now buy just one song, and then create your own playlist made up of your favorite songs! Taught By A Pro is based on a similar idea. You learn from the PRO artists you want and about the subjects you want. There are no prerequisite classes that you have to take before you take the one you WANT to take. There is no having to take an online course that lasts 12 weeks and costs hundreds or thousands of dollars. Taught By A Pro brings PROs to you 24/7, on your schedule, and at an affordable cost!
