In general, a job referral is something that have to earn through hard work, strong portfolio, and showing great professional attitude on every project the student take on. Although these courses aren’t fully self-paced, the lectures and projects can be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection and they can be completed on your own time. Most instructor/mentor(same thing) critiques include recorded videos of the instructor fixing the student’s working file. This is huge since you can actually see how a professional would approach each exercise, fix mistakes, and handle such a project in an industry setting. CG Spectrum is a completely online school that specializes in personalized education from industry professionals.

We also have many local college students and international students coming to train in specific design or foundation areas that their school might not offer of focus on. Pasadena’s ArtCenter offers several different undergrad degrees centered on art and design. The best option for a would-be concept artists is their entertainment design program. A - In general, we recommend international students to arrive 1 week early before the first day of the semester.

Yet there’s also a clear learning structure that helps students understand deadlines and project requirements. This college also works with students to develop a career plan and offers courses that teach the necessary skills to land work in the industry. CDA has outlined a general concept art track, a character design track, an environmental design track, and a storyboard track. Our concept design courses are tailored to provide you with the essential skills and knowledge needed to excel in the field of concept design.

[FRIDAY] ONLINE CLASSES (ZOOM)

A - CDA is not an accredited school and is not qualified to issue international student visa. Most of our international students come study while using their 90 days visitor visa. As long as the student is not taking over 18 hours of courses per week, a student visa is not required under the standard US regulations. Also this includes one-on-one coaching with industry professionals along with professional studio tours, demos from famous concept artists, and access to industry parties.

[MONDAY] ONLINE CLASSES (ZOOM)

You might noticed some of the classes have been recommended to be taken twice. This is due to the amount of time and drawing mileage needed for the student to learn and master the skills being taught in the classes. All of our job placements are through personal recommendations from the instructors, school staff, or through the professional students you meet in the classroom. We wrote a very detailed review of CG Spectrum’s concept art diploma course if you wanna check that out.

Syn Studio

Jumping ahead too far in design or rush into building portfolio when your skills are not ready can often be very counter productive and eat up your budget with very little results. Students can do this on their own time which makes CG Spectrum a viable option for artists who already work a full-time job and cannot commit all day to studying. These include creature design, character design, environmental design, props, vehicles, and how to develop creative skills to craft any of these subjects for a real project. The school organizes events such as student art shows and portfolio reviews which help students get their art in front of the public and people in the industry looking for new hires. In addition to creating high-quality portfolios, students in both programs develop their own signature style which can make them a more sought-after professional in the industry. The second term steps things up with more challenging design projects, introducing limitations and goals similar to what you’d encounter working in a real studio.

But it’s worth looking into the others if you want to learn 3D work or get into movies vs video games. In addition to learning all aspects of game design and game building, students learn concept art specifically for games. If becoming a professional concept artist is your life’s dream, or if you’re just starting to look into career options, you’ve probably considered art school. CG Spectrum offers diploma programs in VFX, game design, 3D animation & modeling, and concept art. Students on this track take lots of drawing, painting, and sculpting courses as well as classes on designing subjects like characters, costumes, props, and vehicles.

What skills do I need to learn for Concept Design?‎

Some concept artists are self-taught, but many find that it’s more efficient to learn from someone else who has already mastered the art. A - All of our classes are non-accredited courses that are purely focused on foundation skill training and portfolio development. The school bases its learning system on exercises and homework from industry mentors. Students can enroll in the courses alone and receive one-on-one attention from their mentor that runs the course, or they can enroll in a group course with others studying online in a classroom setting. Syn Studio prides itself on its friendly atmosphere, cozy art studio feel, and an environment where students are free to explore and grow as artists.

Learning directly from the best will put you in contact with some of the top artists in the industry, which will give you an edge against the competition. Realistically to do something well, it generally takes about 4~5 years to learn the craft. First year to learn the basics (your tools), second year to learn how to use it, third and fourth year to start to make it your own and create something good with it. This way, students get a firsthand look at a professional workflow and thought process. After that students do a second pass of the assignment and submit their final draft by the end of the week. They’ll receive a recorded video of the instructor’s critique on that which is very detailed.

Syn Studio is accredited by The Ministry of Education and Higher Education and Research of Quebec, but credits may not transfer to US schools. Make sure to check with any prospective US schools to see if they’ll accept Syn Studio course credits. You can fill out a FAFSA like you would for any other accredited school to apply for grants, loans, and work study positions. Since this is an accredited school your credits and degree will transfer to other accredited schools if you ever want to switch or go to grad school. This is a very good choice if you want if you want a traditional bachelor’s degree with actual value to concept art work. The animation track includes some drawing courses, but focuses more on 2D and 3D mechanics, storytelling, acting, and 3D modeling.

There is no specific path to follow but it’s worth taking a look at their suggested curriculum tracks to get an idea of which courses would suit your goals. That’s an insane number compared to most other higher education programs. Due to this, we have created this suggested curriculum page for your reference. Every class at CDA is designed in a progressional manner to link into the next class after it.

The best part is that each diploma program comes with a prior “intro” course to prepare newbies for more advanced learning. This means you can get started with almost no experience and learn everything you need right from CG Spectrum. It’s also a good option if you’re at a beginner level and want a comprehensive start-to-finish program to bring your work up to a professional level. Since this is a private school without accreditation, the courses are meant for skill building and portfolio development only. If you want to get a genuine perspective of what it’s like studying here check out this interview we published with alum Darius Kalinauskas.

Even if students take courses solo they’ll have opportunities to interact with other students, so they get the best of both worlds! Syn Studio’s program finishes with a course specifically geared towards helping students succeed in the industry. Syn Studio Art School Montreal is located in the downtown core of the city, a famous hub for art and game studios. Since this is an accredited four year school, all undergrads must also earn general education credits in areas such as English, math, science, humanities, and so on. FZD is registered with the Council of Private Education, but credits may or may not transfer to US schools. You’ll also sharpen your skills in visual communication and learn to curate your own visual library.
