Course Description:

Are you seeking acceptance to an animation school, or currently preparing applications to Fine Arts programs at colleges and/or universities?

The goal of this course is to guide and support you in creating a successful portfolio, for submission with your application(s) for acceptance to post-secondary programs and institutions of your choice.

This class includes drawing from a live model.

You will work in a small group environment with the guidance of experienced artists to develop a finished portfolio.

This program is built around many of the portfolio requirements for leading post-secondary programs in Ontario, such as Sheridan College’s BA of Animation, BA of Illustration, OCAD’s BFA, U of T ’s BFA, Seneca College's Game Design and Animation programs, and many others.

This program is recommended for students taking a Visual Arts course in grades 10, 11 and or 12.
