3D Animation, Art and Design

Our Program

With Humber’s 3D Animation, Art and Design diploma, you can develop well-rounded knowledge and skills that will include strong art and animation abilities and a solid understanding of the latest computer animation technologies, based input from industry advisors. Learn the way the pros work – use the same software and tools used by industry professionals to transform creative thoughts into compelling images and design.

Develop a blend of the most relevant digital and analog art skills, and an understanding of the creative and technical processes involved. Become familiar with the theories of art and put them into practice as you learn to draw, visualize and effectively apply colour principles. Translate your traditional art and design skills into models of characters, objects, scenes and virtual worlds. Build skills in cinematography so that story continuity and believability become the hallmarks of your productions.

Go beyond the surface impression of moving objects to get to the heart of 3D animation – telling an engaging story that captures the hearts and minds of your audience.

Your Career
Pour your creative ideas and your technical skills into a dynamic career in the fast-evolving field of 3D animation, where your chances to progress are only as limited as your imagination. The rapid advancement in computer technology, combined with skyrocketing global demand for animated entertainment for cable and satellite TV and the Internet, has led to a surge in career opportunities for those who have the expertise to tell effective stories and create compelling digital characters and worlds in 3D.

You can steer your 3D animation career into the growing movie industry, which last year enjoyed international box office receipts sales of $31.8 billion – an all-time high, and an eight per cent increase over the year before. As well, in 2009, 18 of the top 25 films were partially or fully animated. Canada’s piece of the action in animation production is also growing, having reached $188 million last year – a 10.6 per cent increase over 2009 – and created 39 3D films, compared to 20 the year before. If you’re more interested in gaming then you’re also in luck. Over 2009/2010 the global gaming industry earned $60.4 billion – an amount that’s expected to increase to $70.1 billion by 2015.

Enjoy the excitement of a vibrant industry where innovation rules, new ideas are appreciated and opportunities for advancement are plenty. Apply your talent, skills and ingenuity to creating everything from special effects for live-action and animated films to broadcast graphics for games, television and commercials. Or, pursue roles in CGI, character animation, lighting, rigging, rendering or technical directing.

COMM 200	College Writing Skills College Writing Skills Course Code: COMM 200 Credits: 3 College Writing Skills emphasizes elements of the writing process. Although subject matter and format may change from one program to another, the skills necessary for effective writing remain the same, as do the professional standards that all Humber students are expected to attain. Students will practice the reading and writing skills that will be valuable in their college programs and build a strong base for professional business writing. Those students who plan to further their studies will develop the fundamental skills for writing acceptable academic English. To help students reach these goals, the course covers the following: analytical reading and critical thinking; essay organization and development; and the elements of clear writing, including grammar and punctuation skills. To complete COMM 200 successfully, students must produce writing that meets or surpasses the minimum departmental standards as set out in the attached criterion sheet.	3
HUMA 024	Humanities: An Introduction to Arts and Science Humanities: An Introduction to Arts and Science Course Code: HUMA 024 Credits: 3 The Humanities course focuses on fundamental questions individuals ask of themselves as they proceed through life. Why are we the way we are? Do we have free will or are we prisoners of our past experience or our biological inheritance? What motivates societies to change? Why do societal changes so often divide people into opposing camps? Why do so many people find contemporary life at home, at work, and in the community unfulfilling? What constitutes good government? How should injustice be fought? Can nations successfully deal with global problems? What is science and how does it differ from other kinds of inquiry? Can scientists provide solutions to the problems we face? What is art and does it offer answers of its own? What is its relationship to beauty, to knowledge, and to ethics? Is objectivity about art (or anything) possible? These questions are organized into units that begin with issues concerning the nature of the individual and then extend outward to various social, cultural and physical contexts. The issues explored in this course are too complex to have any one right answer. Rather, individuals must search for answers that make sense of their experiences via various theoretical perspectives. The Humanities course supports this endeavour through study of different thinkers presented in the readings and exploration of different points of view explored in class discussions. ESL students should consider taking the ESL Humanities course. Students may transfer into ESL Humanities (HESL 024) either at the Registrar?s Office or the School of Liberal Arts & Sciences Office (K201) on a first-come, first-served basis before the Last Day to Add.	3
