The Animation Department fosters a Baltimore-based animation community by offering students hands-on experience through collaborations with local partners and specialists across diverse fields like medicine, science, astronomy, music, gaming, documentary filmmaking, VR/AR, and cinema. At MICA, animation students master the art of producing innovative contemporary works with technical precision, rich character development, and compelling storytelling.
Our program employs cutting-edge techniques and professional-grade hardware and software. Beyond teaching production fundamentals, we emphasize the fusion of technology with storytelling excellence. Graduates leave as well-rounded artists capable of expressing their creative vision through 2D, stop-motion, and 3D animation techniques, or by blending these methods.
