Instructors
"The instructors at APW are dedicated and attentive. Not only did I learn to draw, they also taught me how to see form, structure, and think and draw in 3D space. The skills I learned at APW have been extremely helpful through all four years in animation at Sheridan College." Lisa Wang - Animator at Electronic Arts (EA)
