Level B: The courses of this level are conceived for those who intend to make a career in the animation business. Full dedication of their attention and schedules is required to attend this course. Due to a voluntary limitation, from part of the school, these courses require an interview, an evaluation test, and the presentation of a personal portfolio, depending on the course intended.

Philosophy

ARS Animación is a professional teaching centre, distinguished among others by its focusing and specializing in the teaching and developing of the Animation Art in its most important varieties and techniques.
Inspired and in permanent contact with the elite of the international animation community, our goal is to give our institution not just an average look but one that matches with the highest professional standards. To achieve these goals is a guarantee that the knowledge acquired by our students during their time with us, is totally useful for any company both national and international.
All this comes endorsed by being the only centre in Spain which counts all through the year with the constant presence and in exclusivity of some of the representatives of this elite we mentioned before: directors, animators and artists in general, coming from the most important animation companies from Europe and the US.
Thereby, the best guarantee of our school is our knowledge of the animation business and the animation itself.
The constant updating of our faculty and the improvement of our way of teaching allow our students to get a global and realistic vision of how this industry works. This way of teaching has as final goal: the constant and cutting edge developing of all those who trusted us.
On top of that, our relationships and different collaborations with other schools and festivals from all over the world reinforce that idea of an international community we try to inspire with our way of teaching.
