High school drama teacher Jason Donner puts in extra artistic effort to encourage and inspire his weekly monologue class through whiteboard art. He doodles [comical and cinematic images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ooly) on the whiteboard with dry erase markers that positively reflect the purpose of the class.

At first, Donner would [doodle quick and fun little images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simple-drawing-ideas) in under five minutes, but the students were so intrigued with his talents that they encouraged him to show his full abilities. Some of his drawings have featured Grumpy Cat, the minions from Despicable Me, Porky Pig, Lilo & Stitch and Winnie the Pooh.

The teacher posted a year's worth of pictures of his whiteboard art on his Imagur account yesterday and they have since received thousands of views.
