The International Animated Film Society has recently started a new project of archiving animation resources. There are quite a few gems on this page already. It includes some history, biography, tips, and instruction alll about animation. That being said, there's nothing here I'd integrate into an art class- they're the pretty formulaic "this is how you draw a cartoon head" kind of thing. Resources like this one always leave me with some mixed feelings. In general, I'm all about process over product. However, following these little "instructional" as a kid was one of the things that helped spark my interest in art. Its nice to have a web resource for them for students who really want to learn the "rules" of classical animation... as long as they'll go and break them later.
