In the first year we stress the foundation skills through drawing, digital imaging and digital video, giving you techniques (traditional as well as digital) that will enable you to work on any platform and in any production environment. We'll also challenge you to develop your verbal and writing skills, since all the technical skills you gain will mean little without your ability to tell a story.

Sample Courses:
* Introduction to Imaging Tools with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Dreamweaver. 
* Introduction to 3D Computer Animation with Autodesk Maya.
* Introduction to Digital Video Production with Apple Final Cut Pro and Adobe AfterEffects.
* Drawing 
* Narrative Workshop
