Animation

At Montserrat, we believe animation is a powerful bridge between fine art and commercial industry. Our curriculum is built on the philosophy that storytelling, motion, and information design are universal tools—whether you are creating for a gallery or a global production studio.

Focus Areas

Our program prioritizes a balance of technical mastery and personal vision:

  • Narrative & Storytelling: Master the art of creative storytelling through motion and acting.
  • Draftsmanship: Build a strong foundation in drawing and visual development.
  • Collaborative & Individual Production: Learn the dynamics of working within a professional production team while developing your own independent films.

Your Career in Motion

Graduates are prepared to thrive as individual artists or as key members of creative teams in:

  • Experimental Media Projects
  • Feature Animation & Shorts
  • Motion Graphics
  • Video Game Development

“The whole school is so supportive of innovation and creativity. I feel like I really could throw myself into my work and come out a better artist.”

Chris Pianka ’11
