More traditional animation classes please!

What I like about this picture, aside from the nice people, is the 1:1 lecturer to student ratio.

Overall the FTI course is great.

However, we have noticed that industry highly values animation principles in it's new employees.

We know it is important to know programs, but it seems that employers - when asked (re: Steven Grant) value animation know-how over program know-how. And what is the best way to drill animation know-how? The broad consensus is "Traditional animation"! Hand-drawn animation experience teaches animation principles more effectively than learning programs. . We the students have frequently asked for more traditional animation and drawing classes. I feel like at the moment, to properly learn the basic and secondary animation basics I will have to undertake my own study away from FTI. Walks, expressions, anticipation, drag and so many other things are learned by discussion and drawing practice. Learning a program's individual idiosyncrasies is not this practice. More traditional please!
