Learning Journey

SEMESTER 1

Start from the basics! Don’t worry, even if you’re a beginner. Throughout the semester, you’ll learn all the fundamentals of art and drawing techniques, such as Human Body Structure, Lighting Studies, Perspective, Color Mood Studies, Digital Drawing, Related Software, and more! You will overcome any doubts you have about your ability to draw accurately. These will prepare you for the upcoming professional semesters.

 

SEMESTER 2 – 7

Your journey of creating starts here! You’ll start by drawing digitally and exploring the fundamentals of modelling, composition, colour, and design. Then, you’ll move to build skills in storytelling, 3D animation, lighting, rigging, and more. From concept to creation to editing and delivery, you will learn these while using the same software and technology used by industry professionals. You will also collaborate with other talented, inspiring students in your programme. Eventually, you will have completed a short animation video project with your team members.

 

SEMESTER 8 – INTERNSHIP

Your journey is about to reach a checkpoint. Throughout the semester, you will gain a professional learning experience providing meaningful work related to your field of study or career interests. Internships provide students with opportunities for career exploration and development. You can also use this opportunity to build a network and be ready for the real world!
