About Bachelor of Fine Arts - Art - Animation + Visual Effects

Animation + Visual Effects is a versatile and highly in-demand skill set for today’s digital artists and storytellers. The ever-evolving digital world demands artists that have the ability to critically generate content that is both technical and creative. 

The generalist approach to the discipline presents graduating students with a wide range of career opportunities in the entertainment industry. Coursework covers topics such as 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, lighting/rendering, compositing, rotoscoping, effects simulation, environments, matte painting, green screen filming, storyboarding, digital painting, motion graphics, AR/VR, motion capture, and a variety of digital animation techniques and mediums. Students also have the opportunity to take additional courses in Studio Art and Graphic Design (such as drawing, photography, painting, and typography) to complement their area of interest within the degree.

The ideal student has a passion for drawing, computer technology skills, and patience to focus on minute details over long periods of time. The ideal student is able to work according to a director’s instruction, while still finding a creative solution. Students have the opportunity to get class credit for Internships. The Art+Design department has a designated Internship Coordinator who helps the student navigate this option. The surrounding Nashville area provides opportunities for on-site internships while virtual and remote internships are also a possibility.

With the help of The Center of ​Excellence in the Creative Arts, APSU is able to bring in industry professionals each year to meet with students and classes. Students who complete this degree will primarily be prepared for work in the entertainment industry, such as an animation or visual effects studio. However, there are opportunities to use the degree in other fields such as graphic design firms, media production companies, industrial design firms, and the military.
