Victoria College of Art
Ecole d'Art - Victoria

This is the question everyone asks themselves. We are all unique and we endeavor to create individualized and customized programs for everyone. We also have a fabulous new program in Textile Arts. New, using Photoshop and Toon Boom, is the certificate we offer in Advanced 2D Classical Animation, also, followed by an introduction to 3D animation using MAYA. One extra course in Advanced Illustration confirms you as a fully qualified expert. 5 related courses makes you eligible to join the Vancouver Island Illustrators Society. Starting again in January 2011 is the Certificate in Fine Art Illustration Fundamentals. This is why we have launched into organizing our curriculum in a unique way, whereby you can ladder your way up to our prestigious diploma by a series of practical steps through certificate programs of all kinds. At The Victoria College of Art we believe in putting your creative abilities to good use by teaching you all you need to know from three thousand years of artistic exploration; so you can use your talents in the real world, in hands-on, useful ways. Rather than consuming and polluting, at the same time adding a sense of awe, the artist gives back to life and nature by making something out of virtually nothing, beauty and fresh understanding of life on this planet. Being an artist is just about the most green profession you can practice. We like to think the people who have the best chance of answering this big question are those who recognize that Creativity, in all its various forms, is the hallmark of what makes us truly human. And it is the question we constantly ask each other in our Victoria College of Art creative community. Come and join us in a great adventure.
