Classes help students to cultivate knowledge of current and historic industry examples.

The successful animator is able to compose, develop, and direct a scene that conveys a specific idea. Students apply their traditional art skills, 3-D composite and photo editing skills to create animations that demonstrate that competence within an industry specialization.
