Bachelor of Fine Arts [B.F.A] [Experimental Animation] From California Institute of the Arts

From handmade practices such as 2D drawing and working directly on film, to computer animation and pre-visualization skills?courses blend practical knowledge with creative practice and critique, allowing for a detailed examination of animation art.

As mentoring is central to the CalArts experience, students work closely with a mentor from the Experimental Animation faculty and other members of the Institute's accomplished faculty as they experiment with and extend their own unique artistic visions. Visiting artists provide critiques and perspectives on current animation practices, and recruitment professionals come to campus annually to review student portfolios to offer internships and employment at leading animation studios. BFA students are especially encouraged to study abroad in one of the Program's exchange opportunities.

All BFA Experimental Animation students are required to pass a Graduation Review in order to complete the Program.
