A PROPOS DE CALARTS
2011 CalArts Characher Animation Producer’s Show 
 
Established in 1961 by Walt and Roy Disney, California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) is the 
nation's first higher education institute to offer undergraduate and graduate degrees in both 
the visual and performing arts. CalArts is dedicated to training and nurturing the next 
generation of professional artists, fostering brilliance and innovation within the broadest 
context possible.  
 
With an emphasis on the issues of story telling, and acting that story via character/s, 
Character Animation at CalArts maintains a very structured and dense First and Second year 
of study, with more freedom of class choices offered in the final two years of a student’s four 
year residency. This includes credits earned in Critical Studies (academic 
course work), as well as métier-based studio classes, and prepares our graduates for work in 
diverse professional settings, as well as independent filmmaking (the auteur). This brief 
description speaks of a program that has, at its heart, the activity that reflects Character 
Animation's fundamental philosophy: Life Drawing. Regardless of one's choice of direction-- 
whether to focus in a traditional, hand-drawn style; or to concentrate on CGI studies-- 
observational life drawing from the model, instructed to each year level, contributes what our 
administration and faculty feels has substantive impact on all art making efforts of our 
student body. It simply makes a difference.  Add to this the mandate that students in the 
program complete a film each year for her/his four years of study, and you have a picture of 
the dynamics which help to define and distinguish this program of animation art.
