“My son has taken many of Mr.A’s classes and he has enjoyed them all.  My son always asks me to sign him up for the upcoming class.  Mr. A has a wonderful way of facilitating the kids to follow their own creative ideas.”  Sara McCoy, Seattle WA

“Claire and I went to a three hour clay animation class on Sunday that was AMAZING.  I can’t say enough good things about the instructor, Lukas Allenbaugh.  A neighbor hired him to do a workshop for a birthday party, and he got all set up in a matter of minutes.  Lukas has a wonderful way of quickly explaining to the kids just the concepts they need to understand.”  Kathy Woodford, Bellevue WA

“Mr. A’s (Lukas Allenbaugh) classes have inspired my son in creative directions that now pervade his daily life – he captures life’s moments in drawings, models, cartoons and race tracks…”  Peter M. Small, M.D. Senior Program Officer, Tuberculosis Global Health Program.

“I just wanted to let you know how much my son has enjoyed the camp this week.  He literally bounces up and down as he tells me what they did each day.  It sounds like a perfect mix of art and technology.  I am in awe of what our kids are learning these days.  I hope he’ll be back next summer and maybe do a continuation of this camp.”  Lisa Dawson, Parent, Dallas TX

“My 9 year old son attended his first stop motion animation camp with Mr. A (Lukas Allenbaugh) this summer.  It was as though a flame was lit under him.  He hasn’t stopped creating since.  Thank you Mr. A for inspiring young minds!”  Parent, Dallas TX.

“We wanted to thank you for the efforts so far with regard to our son and his films…we were on the web tonight and really enjoyed his little piece, as well as so many of the other projects.  Thanks again, we look forward to more good learning and fun to come.  He is really liking the class.”  Lisa and Michael Darling, Seattle WA

“Im the parent of a child that attended the animation class you taught at St. Mark’s school in Dallas during June 2007.  He had an amazing time in the class and still can’t stop talking about the fun he had.  We’ve even set up a studio at home using a webcam and some stop frame animation software.”  Scott Wheeler, Dallas TX.

“Lukas, my son attended the animation camp with you at St. Marks.  He had a terrific time.  Thanks so much for your skill and patience and creativity.  I would be very proud if my children became teachers like you.”  Katie Hallett, Dallas TX.

“My son learned so much at your camp this week.  I am impressed at the level of “production” you got out of him.  This was his first foray into “film” and he loved it.  He really owned his project and will, I am sure, be busy the rest of the summer making clay animated movies!” Cindi Castilla, Seattle WA.

“Theo took the animation class over the summer and absolutely loved it so we asked “Mr.A” to do an after-school program at Adams Elementary school this fall.  This is the only class that Theo ALWAYS wants to attend.  He is very proud of his creations!  Lukas brings an impressive amount of experience working with kids to these classes and it shows. Lukas has great respectful tools that he employs to keep the class running smoothly.  I like to see the way the kids are all working together creatively.  I know Theo wants to take every class that Lukas offers.” Amy Kastelin, Seattle WA.
