The BFA in Animation provides students serious about careers as animation artists with a thorough foundation in the art of animation and its history, combined with intense advanced practice in a wide variety of animation methods and mediums. Animation BFA students have an opportunity to explore a wide and deep range of animation courses in traditional animation (hand-drawn, stop motion, and hybrid), 3D animation and modeling, character design, storyboarding, game art, motion graphics, VFX animation, as well as film and TV courses in screenwriting, editing, sound, and directing. Graduates of our program have gone on to careers as animation artists, story artists, visual designers, character animators, game artists, CGI effects animators, and motion graphics animators. The program’s visual arts history and studio art requirements give students an aesthetic grounding crucial to success in these areas. In their many animation production courses, students will have access to the latest in animation software, tools, and technologies including professional-level animation and effects software, Cintiq labs, 3D printing, stop motion stages and fabrication studios, 3D motion capture, motion control, and sophisticated sound studios. Students will gain valuable production experience both in class and through internships, and benefit from the School of Cinematic Arts’ connections to leading animation, film, and TV studios and CDM’s relationship with Chicago’s largest game development studios.
