“The Advanced Certificate in Fine Art with Animation course has given me the time to truly improve my own artistic skills and knowledge. The Animation section really allowed me to explore things that I would not have had the confidence to do otherwise, such as a walk cycles and turnarounds. I’m looking forward to including this work in my portfolio for next year!”
