The Computer Art Department offers comprehensive instruction in 3D Computer Animation, Broadcast Design, Compositing and Visual Effects. Electives are offered each year in computer programming and scripting, game design, interactive media and installation art. Computer Art majors are also encouraged to take studio electives from the many other outstanding programs at SVA.

Computer Art majors receive a strong working knowledge of both 2D and 3D computer graphics. While technology is a critical part of the Computer Art instruction, this is a production-based curriculum. Each year, students are expected to produce portfolio-quality work.

Computer Art majors learn the most current software applications from working professionals. They develop both the personal and professional skills necessary to succeed as a visual artist, and to stand out in a highly competitive, creative industry.
