The College has officially re-named its Animation and Digital Media department to Entertainment Arts.
Why the change to Entertainment Arts? The diverse pool of artists currently enrolled in our Animation and Digital Media program all have one common thread, the goal to join the Entertainment Industry upon graduation. The new name better describes what we do, the courses we teach, and where you'll go from here.
- Character and Experimental Animation
The character animation program guides students toward the art of sequential storytelling and acting. Courses in character animation incorporate both computer-generated and hand-drawn traditional techniques with an emphasis on storyboarding, character design and layout. Students in the Experimental Animation program explore the art form in an environment of imagination, creativity and personal expression, utilizing techniques that include stop-motion, material based and computer-generated imagery. - Game Art
Students will focus on producing the creative content and concept art for games. The courses offered will explore the latest 3D modeling, texturing, lighting, and animation techniques for games, 2D character and environment concept development, storyboarding, and collaborative game creation. - Video and Live Action
This program is for students who want to use video as an exploratory and expressive medium. Foundation courses in digital imaging and pre-production pave the way for conceiving and producing highly original personal work. Students are encouraged to develop and refine their cinematic vocabulary through narrative, experimental, and documentary forms.
