" CGI can look like a lot of different things. It is sometimes clearly visible and stylized, like in animated films. It also knows how to be invisible when it is photorealistic. 3D is recreational and educational, it allows us to travelin time and to move in virtual spaces. I work with your mentors to createa relevant program that will shape you into recognized designers. Theprogram will first ensure that you have a solid grasp on all the basics. Once this is done, my role is to help you increase your knowledge and find your place in the CGI and VFX industry."

These artist seeds have embarked with us and they are proud of it! Discover the testimonials of our learners

Classical schools impose a fixed organization and no freedom, without saying anything of the need to find new accommodations depending on where the school is. With Artline I can organize my schedule the way I want to, with time left to get a part-time job to pay the tuition. What made the biggest impression on me was the constant support of the mentors and how much progress I made in barely two years thanks to them!

Bachelor 3D Graphics - September 2018

I was skeptical about joining an online school, but I really don't regret my choice. We are very well mentored by a team of working professionals who are here to answer our questions whenever they can. Being in touch with them makes you feel much closer to the working world. I would definitely recommend the school without any hesitation!
