If you're passionate about video games, animated features, shorts, or shows, visual effects, or visualizations, and you feel just as comfortable with a mouse and keyboard or stylus as with a brush or pencil, digital animation may be the field for you!
Digital animation is a relatively new art form that requires both artistic and technical skill. Our programs are focused on creating well-rounded digital animation generalists that are comfortable working in all areas of production. Classes cover storyboarding, concept art, modeling, texturing, shading, lighting, rigging, 2D and 3D animating, rendering, producing short films, and designing & developing games.
Students can take digital animation courses as electives or as part of our Bachelor of Arts in Art - Studio Concentration, Studio Art Minor, Game Design & Development Minor, or our Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art - Digital Animation Concentration. The DAC BFA provides students maximum time and experience with digital animation as a discipline. Acceptance to the DAC requires a successful BFA portfolio review, see Art, Art History, & Design's program overview for more information.
