You will be taught the fundamentals of animation, principles and practice of visual language and 3D design, 3D modelling, animation, texturing, rigging and skinning, lighting and rendering, the history of practice in art and design and professional practice of the modern animation industry. You will also be taught industry standard programs including Autodesk 3DSMax, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects. Progression will be into the 2nd year, apprenticeships or university.

Additional information

Sketchbooks will be required throughout the year. Not a requirement but students who source access to 3DSMax and Adobe at home and a graphics tablet tend to do well.
