Located in New York City, the School of Visual Arts has been a leader in the education of artists, designers, and creative professionals for more than six decades. With a faculty of distinguished working professionals, dynamic curriculum, and an emphasis on critical thinking, SVA is a catalyst for innovation and social responsibility. SVA BFA Animation’s creative environment allows students to use the art form of 2D animation and imagination to tell stories with a unique vision, style, and intent. SVA BFA 3D Animation and Visual Effects courses teach students the CG tools while encouraging students to develop their creative voices. Students in both programs are challenged to be curious and open to collaboration and experimentation while following the high standards of academic performance and professionalism. The curriculum, taught by industry professionals, covers all aspects of the production pipeline – from ideation to completion, where the students are creating and producing individually as well as collaboratively.
