Portfolio Preparation for College Animation Programs

Animation Portfolio Preparation for College

This class will help students applying to college animation programs prepare their portfolios with guidance from a professional animator/illustrator who graduated from the Sheridan College Bachelor of Animation program and is now a Technical Animator at Snap Inc.

Each week will consist of a different lesson catered towards specific portfolio requirements such as anatomy, character design, animation, storyboarding and layout. Students will focus on creating their best work with weekly one-on-one sessions to discuss progress and provide feedback. Students who take this class are usually applying to:

Sheridan, Seneca, Humber, George Brown & Fanshawe Colleges

Please note that taking this class will improve your portfolio but does not guarantee admission to art programs.
