Yvonne Andersen

Yvonne Andersen (born September 7, 1932) is an American animated filmmaker, author, and teacher. She is most well known for co-creating the Yellow Ball Workshop with her husband, Dominic Falcone. The Yellow Ball Workshop was a school for both children and adults to learn about animation.

Andersen and her husband produced many of the films created by their students. Following the Yellow Ball Workshop, Andersen taught at the Rhode Island School of Design.

Andersen was a strong believer in the potential of children. She said that children would innovate the fields they entered, so it was important to encourage and support them. Amy Kravitz, a former student of Andersen, stated: "When I was a child in her class, one of the most important things Yvonne did was take me seriously. She took all of us seriously."
