2008 Portfolio Success

Students from the recently completed session of the Animation Portfolio Workshop are getting their results back for their 2008 portfolio submissions. As usual, the hard work and dedication of APW students is paying off as they are being accepted into top animation schools like Seneca Animation Arts Centre and Sheridan College.

I've posted some examples taken from the portfolios of recent APW students Lisa Wang ,Jasper Davis, Ksenya Pluto and Xiaoyu Wang. As more results come in more portfolios will be posted.

The info session will be held right near "the pit" (where all the Art Fundies students work on their homework) for students who are interested and want to find out more about the APW. The Session will be hosted by Myke Bakich (you can see his character drawings below) who is a graduate of Sheridan's Bachelor of Animation Program (and an Animation Portfolio Workshop alumni).

The first session is on
Wed., March 26th from 11am to 12pm in Room A-143. See you there...
If you can't make it to this session we have scheduled a second one on
Wed. April 2, 12pm - 1pm in Rm. A-108. More on that later.

Myke's Melvin

Here's a fun little character designed by Myke Bakich. This is one of the many characters designed by Myke during his time in Sheridan's Bachelor of Animation Program. A turnaround or rotation of the body, poses, a rotation of Melvin's head and a page of facial expressions.

Lisa's Cafe Drawings

Lisa Wang is currently studying in the Animation Portfolio Workshop. She visits places that have a lot of people involved in natural, everyday activities and observes and draws gestures and caricatures of these poeple. Here are a few examples taken from her cafe drawing sessions.

Dan Arathoon's Anatomy Drawings

Dan Arathoon is a first year student at Seneca Animation Arts Centre. Here are some of his anatomical studies of legs and hands. Have a look at Dan's blog...he's in the list of Animation Portfolio Workshop former students on the right.
