THE Department of Screen-Based Arts have a unique and marvelous opportunity to create new worlds, breath life into them through motion and choreography and fill them with substance through a storyline. Animation and video artists can break loose from narrative and convert the camera into a distinctive tool that can become a flexible and clever writing and drawing implement to express passions, thoughts and ideas or just document and tell a story. They can do all this by simply using a pencil and paper, by moving objects in space or by utilizing the newest, state-of-the-art digital technologies and 3D software. 

The Department teaches classical 2D, stop motion, 3D animation, video art, documentary and experimental film making – as well as new and interactive media programs, such as augmented and virtual reality. It offers students the rare opportunity to choose from a wide variety of traditional techniques, cutting-edge tools and future technologies – and any combination of them
