Pending Government approval, in September 2003, Seneca College will be offering a new 2 year Traditional Animation program with a third year option in Computer animation.
This will be a full time program of two semesters per year. The following courses will be offered:

The program will accept a total of 44 students made up of two classes of 22 each. Applicants will need to submit a portfolio of drawings for assessment before being accepted.
You can go to the Digital Media Center website: www.dmc3d.com to read more about the school, the existing programs and the great faculty.
The general plan at this point is that I will be teaching at least two courses in the first year, probably Layout and History.
I do have two other experienced instructors lined up for the Animation and Character Design as well as the Storyboarding courses. The Life Drawing class will be taught by one of the current instructors at Seneca and the Computer Studies course will consist of PhotoShop, Premier, and some other animation related software programs yet to be determined.
