Art Gràfic

The Art Gràfic program aims to train future drawing professionals, who are able to respond to the wide range of jobs currently available: comics, illustration, cartoons, graphic design, digital creation, etc.
It is a program that brings together most of the specialties taught by the school.

This course consists of four nine-month stages, distributed in two two-year cycles and a total of 2,880 hours of class time.

Course definition and objectives

The course program Art Grafic is designed for the training of drawing professionals and focused on a quick integration into the world of work in the main industries of image, leisure and communication.

The multitude and diversity of knowledge acquired will allow the future professional to develop an activity as an artist in different specialties such as comics, illustration, concept art or production design for animation, film and video games.

Content distribution

The course is divided into four nine-month stages, articulated in two-year cycles.

The first cycle focuses the student’s work on obtaining a solid core of basic concepts in the disciplines of drawing, color and sequential art, on which to base their training and future projects.

These core subjects will be accompanied by others that are complementary and essential for the training of future creatives, such as screenwriting, digital creation or graphic design.

The second cycle aims to build on the knowledge acquired in the previous years. Through learning and putting into practice a wide range of artistic techniques, the student will begin the process of perfection and specialization that the professional path requires.

The training of this second stage is completed with an approach to the professional sector through meetings and interviews with companies and professionals.

Course program
