I am so sorry that this activity is no longer available at DHS. I remember on the eve of the Goofy Challenge, 01/09/2010, the artist was teaching us how to draw Goofy. At the end of the demo I was first at the stage and was honored to get her to sign the original with a personal message. What a great Magic Moment.

My whole family loves this area. The artists in the family really enjoy the Animation Academy.
