Course General Description

Animation students bring characters and stories to life through the magic of computer animation. Using a wide variety of techniques, from traditional 2-D animation to 3-D computer-generated imagery (CGI), students learn to develop narratives that evoke emotion and create the illusion of movement. Special emphasis is placed on storytelling, character design, and acting, as well as traditional drawing skills and business acumen. Animation Career Magazine named us a top animation program in the West.
