Our Graphic Design and Multimedia program is special because not all graphic design schools and graphic design colleges offer an Associate's degree with a combination of technical courses and general education courses.

In Westwood's Animation program you learn to combine visual effects with live action to breathe life into 2D and 3D objects by modeling bone, skin and features, and then adding animated lifelike motions. Because animation is a blend of art and technology, those working in the field will not only require creativity and good visualization skills, but also specialized training in industry-relevant design software and digital media equipment to be competitive and successful.

Westwood's Animation program covers topics such as the laws of human motion, physics, psychology as applied to 2D and 3D characters, life drawing and rendering techniques, and the application of audio and video to an animation project.
