Greetings from The Animation Academy in Burbank California! This is our latest video featuring some of our students sharing their thoughts and experiences...
Since January 19 1998 The Animation Academy in Burbank has been helping artists achieve their creative dreams. Feel free to contact us if you'd like to explore what we can do to assist in advancing your art for animation and related fields.
We're beginning the year at full capacity for new students. Next enrollment window will be for classes starting February 2 2016. Get in touch if you're looking to join us. Meanwhile here's a look at the end of 2015 from our campus in Burbank...
Here's what Burbank California looked like on Christmas Day from the rooftop of our campus in Magnolia Park in the heart of the city. The music is what was playing on KUSC radio at the time which is one of the stations we listen to when class is in progress. A special moment to share with all.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas, a Happy Holiday Season and a Happy and Creative New Year in 2016!
Happy to report that James Casey is the recipient of the Hank Aaron Chasing the Dream Foundation Awards Scholarship sponsored by Major League Baseball and the Boys and Girls Club of America. This is a national scholarship and James is the second student we've had to receive it. Congratulations James!
The best way to gauge the effectiveness of any art education program is to see what a school's students produce. The Animation Academy's blog has been serving as our Student Gallery since April 2006. Currently we use it to showcase student work through our Art of the Week feature. We regularly update recent assignments and encourage visitors to enjoy the varied and diverse creations our students come up with on an ongoing basis. You're welcome to follow this link to see what's happening: http://theanimationacademy.blogspot.com/
