Overview

Animation is as old as storytelling—and more relevant than ever.

It is a tool to educate, engage, and entertain, and it has an exceptional ability to convey messages and ideas, playing a crucial role in a variety of industries.

Key Features

Animation students at Maryland Institute College of Art work and learn together in state-of-the-art space in Brown Center, which was built specifically for design and time-based media programs.

And in cultivating an animation community that is rooted in Baltimore, the Animation Department provides real-world experience to students by leveraging partnerships with local organizations and experts in areas including medicine, science, astronomy, music, gaming, documentary, VR/AR, and cinema.

They don't just train their students in the mechanics of production, we teach the integration of technology and storytelling best practices. Students emerge from the program as fully-developed artists able to articulate a creative vision using 2D, Stop-Motion, and 3D animation, or a combination of approaches.
