Our students are back for another year of challenges and creativity.
After a well-deserved summer break, the serious stuff is back!
Here is a short summary...
Welcome to new students
Since the beginning of September, the different classes have been back at school. Some of them have made this journey for the first time. We welcome them to the school and wish them success in their projects. To welcome them as well as possible, we have organised a special day with the families.
On the programme: sunshine, conviviality, exchanges with the teaching staff and the parents' association.
Back on track 💃🕺
The lecturers are also back. Many courses have already been given in the different classes since the beginning of September : Anatomy, Photo, Image composition, Perspective, Art history, ZBrush, Rig, Texture, 3D rendering, Animation, etc. It's great to see our teachers again for this new year 😊
As for our computer equipment, in order to give our students the maximum comfort to work, we have invested heavily in the purchase of screens, new computers, comfortable seats, etc.. For example, everyone has their own computer with two screens ; enough to do wonders 🤩
Graduation films
The production of the films for the class of 2022 has begun. All the teams are working hard to bring you the most beautiful films possible in June. Good luck to all the 5th year students for this year full of emotions.
Preparatory class
A new adventure begins for the school which welcomes its first preparatory class this year. Many courses have already taken place such as History of Art, Academic Drawing, Photo Workshop, Perspective, Video/Photo, Sketchbook, etc.
From January onwards, they will take part in the entrance exams for the major art schools, and we wish them every success.
The "matinales" are backs 🥳
For this new season, we are lucky enough to welcome this year 9 animation studios, 3 of which will be present from October 29th in Avignon. MIKROS Animation, NKI and ILLOGIC Studios will inaugurate this 4th season of the "Matinales".
On the programme, presentation of the structures, projects and working methods. They will then spend a good part of the day meeting our future graduates.
These days are always rich in exchanges and mutual discoveries. We would like to thank the cinema "LE VOX" and the "Grand Avignon" for their support.
Live model drawing in 3rd year
We are very pleased to offer new "Live Model" workshops to our 3rd year students. Supervised by Emmanuelle Gras, these workshops are an opportunity to get away from the computer for a while and to pursue one's drawing practice.
"Station Animation" opens a branch in Avignon
As good news never comes alone, we are very happy to welcome, in our beautiful city of Avignon, the studio "La Station Animation". Historically based in Paris, the studio is opening a branch in Rue de la République to work on new animation projects.
In order to facilitate its establishment, our school hosted the studio's professionals for a month while the new premises were operational.
We are proud to see that the presence of our school and the quality of our territory encourage the establishment of animation studios in the Vaucluse.
