Comment:

Chris is wonderful. Lightyears away from F. Lenny. He will give you a lot of work, but he gives meaningful assignments. He will always help you out and never treat you like a pest. You must attend class; you will learn a lot. He is a nice guy and a great teacher who truly cares about the quality of his teaching and his students. Highly recommended.

Comment:

Had him twice, the first time I was just so overwhelmed by everything that I got out at midterms. Took him the next quarter and he was nice to me and treated me fair. I gave the best presentation for midterms and he was really happy for me. One of these days I have to remember to send him a "nickel" ;)

Comment:

Mr. Claflin is a great teacher. Very helpful and REALLY TEACHES WELL!! you will learn allot in his classes. But if you dont do the homework you will be lost and won't catch up. He's not easy but he's not hard. Just do your work and show up. He expects the quality of your work to show your level of experiance and grades fairly from person to person

He wants things done his way, which translates to the real world. The assignments take a lot of time to do.

Claflan is the best by far. He is a great teacher and he knows his stuff. Although he gives you a lot of homework, it is well worth it.

He is one of the Top five greatest teachers I’ve ever had hands down. He listens to his students, is clear and understanding. Always a pleasure even if I end up retaking the same class. I procrastinate, I’ve got a problem. …lol

Chris is the mother freaking best! Especially when he lets you make a storyboard that includes Menuedo and Haggis and Sloths!

Chris Claflin is one of best instructors I've ever taken at any school... All his assignments are dead on for what you need to know to work in the industry. Warning, those not serious about learning, don't waste his time.

Comment:

I was always told storyboarding was intimidating. In fact, as you transition from class to class your not sure how to bring all lessons together in the grand scheme of drawing -until Claflin opens your eyes. He's innovative, amazing and passionate about how your art an idea's are valuable to storyboarding. Have faith --he'll guide your right. (SG)

Chris Claflin is a great guy and great teacher. He used to be a storyboard artist for "Duckman." Great class, but no longer in the curriculum.
