Animate with Autodesk Maya
Understanding the 3D-program is extremely hard.
Not to scare off people away, but this is due to the heavy load of work and time we have to put down in order to make a single piece.
We have diluted the College Level course into a easier curriculum so students of Highschool and up can create their own dream in 3D space.
Why 'Digital Art' class at 370 is different.
Digital art is simple term for a big topic. Digital art is defined as any creative practice that uses digital generated technology as an essential part of the artistic process.
Here in our studio, we primarily use Adobe Creative softwares like Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Animate along with other softwares including Clip Studio, Procreate and Maya(3d) for our digital art class.
We are proud to say we bring the BEST DIGITAL ART class in New Jersey with outstanding digital art curriculum and range of professional experience for our students' need.
