Template:About Donald W. Graham (17 June 1903 – 19 October 1976)[1] was a Canadian-American fine artist and art instructor. An early graduate and later a professor at the Chouinard Art Institute (later merged into the California Institute of the Arts), Graham is best known as the head of the internal training and orientation classes at the Walt Disney Productions animation studio from 1932 to 1940.[2][3]
Assisted by Disney's top animators, Graham helped to document and establish many of the principles that make up the foundation of the art of traditional animation.[2] he posthumously received the Winsor McCay Award for lifetime achievement in the animation field from ASIFA-Hollywood in 1982.[4]
