Animation Portfolio Workshop Summer Intensive

International and Canadian students make up the Animation Portfolio Workshop Summer Intensive Sessions and create a special atmosphere.  Diverse cultural backgrounds all come together when it’s time to draw.  Mexico, Columbia, Guatemala, Senegal, UK, USA, Italy, India, Denmark, Switzerland, Vietnam, Fort MacMurray Alta., Winnipeg Man.,  and even our home city of Toronto and throughout Ontario.

The Summer Intensive lives up to it’s name and is a full 38 days of classes (6 hours per day) spread out over 8 weeks in July and Augustwith plenty of life drawing, character design, object drawing, perspective and storyboards. This is no short session full of “quick tips” and it’s definitely not for the faint of heart.  Full disclosure – it’s hard work.  But that’s why our students love it.  As they see their progress and witness their development they are inspired to go further.  When the APW Summer Intensive is over friendships have been made and solid foundations laid for a portfolio preparation to animation, illustration or other post secondary art courses.  More importantly, APW training in drawing fundamentals helps students to meet challenges along their artistic path.
