APW students get offers of admission

This last week has been a busy one for all of the students who submitted animation portfolios in late Feb/ early March of 2011. Schools are now responding and offers of admission have been recieved by a growing number of APW students. Read these reactions from the students themselves and from the APW instructors as well.
The dramatic hand drawing is by 2011 APW student Richard Kosnar. Richard recently applied to Sheridan and received an offer of admission.

Interviews with Jim Zubkavich.

APW Director Gerard Sternik spoke with Jim Zubkavich (Coordinator of Seneca's Animation Arts Centre at York University in Toronto) about a range of animation school-related topics. In this 5 part interview, they answered questions like, "what is an animation portfolio?", ""what specific kinds of drawings does an animation school need to see from a potential student?", and "what is more important, software knowledge or drawing ability?"
