Animation film in Brussels

Studying abroad is stepping out of your comfort zone and taking steps on to the path of self-creation. It means discovering and reflecting on who you are, as a person and as an artist. Living and studying abroad is therefore recommended for every artist. Meet people and use art to communicate beyond borders of any kind, and use that to reach into the world.

Brussels is a melting pot of languages, cultures and religions, is a complex but fascinating European metropolis and it is Luca School of Arts home base. Audio-visual Arts in Luca Brussels consists of Film, Animation Film and the Erasmus Mundus Programme Doc Nomads. As our campus in Brussels also houses Visual Arts (Photography, Fine Arts, Graphic Storytelling and Media and Information Design), Interior Design and Construction Technology, this is the perfect place where cross-fertilization between different media and domains in the arts is made possible. Luca School of Arts Brussels is therefore the place to be for future exchange students.

Programme for exchange students: Drawing skills and graphic insight are indispensable while studying in our Animation Film study department.

As an exchange student, you’ll mainly be enrolled in 3rd year courses. Some courses will be organised within the 2nd year because of the curriculum structure. We expect you to have acquired all the basic components regarding the making of an animation film. It’s also necessary to have obtained advanced skills in character animation, narration and art direction. In the 3^rd BA we focus on the development of a personal stylistic style, which is indispensably linked to the students personal manner of storytelling and visualizing movement. The focus is therefore gradually shifting to one's own work and personal ambitions, on realizing an animation film that meets professional standards, both technically and creatively.
