APW Signature Program
The APW Signature course has been streamlined to fit high school and college students' demanding schedules. Our newly condensed, intensive format delivers the core curriculum in fewer weeks, making top-tier portfolio prep more accessible and lowering the price to match the shorter duration—without compromising the quality of the APW Signature curriculum or acceptance success.

OUTLINE
Our program consists of two modules: Life Drawing for Animation and Drawing for Animation. These two modules cover all of the required drawings in an animation portfolio and together make up a typical session of the Animation Portfolio Workshop.
The Life Drawing for Animation module exposes students to a series of drawing exercises that help to develop the skill set needed to create all the observational drawings that comprise an animation portfolio.
The Drawing for Animation module rounds out our animation portfolio preparation program by introducing and covering solid, structural object drawing, linear perspective, layout, character body construction, character design, storyboarding, composition and animation.
