Animation Schools prepare art students for an exciting career designing games, special effects, cartoons, and more. With the introduction of computer animation, there is an ever-growing demand for professional artists who can fill a variety of animation positions.

Future animators should seek a degree in arts and humanities with an emphasis on computer animation, visual effects, or gaming animation. Your education will start with the basics of drawing, such as fundamental drawing studies, life drawing and layout animation. Next, you'll learn to use computer-aided software programs, and acquire basic skills such as character design, layout, storytelling, visual communication, direction, editing, and style.

A degree in animation can take you in many directions; you could work for a television studio, art studio, gaming software development company, or a special effects studio. Animators are generally very well-paid, with annual earnings in the range of $50,000.

If you really love to draw, a career in animation might be just right for you! Find the animation school that suits you by searching the many options found at www.schoolsgalore.com.
