Ringling College of Art and Design was founded in 1931 by circus magnate John Ringling. The faculty included Dr. Laura Ganno-McNeill, the first woman in the United States to earn a Ph.D. Today the school includes an excellent animation program.

“Beware of Monster” is one example of a student’s work that we took a liking to. There is an evil creature that lives in the forest. There’s a sign warning strangers of this horrible beast! But one small girl, an artist out for a walk and looking for inspiration sees something different in this beast. Watch and see what you takeaway from this creature?
