Meet the Parents

Parents of students have a lot to say about the workshop. In this APWnetwork video, Fatima Merpouya talks about her son, Bahador. She shares her excitement about the progress that she was able to see in her son's drawings of animal and room/perspective studies. Bahador went on to study animation at Seneca's Animation Arts Centre and presently works in the animation industry in Toronto, Canada. In addition to his work as a Drawing for Animation instructor with the Animation Portfolio Workshop, Bahador's professional Visual Effects resume includes work on the feature film "The Incredible Hulk".

NEW EXTENDED NINE MONTH SESSION. REGISTER NOW

Guess what......
Animation Portfolio Workshop just got even better then it already is!!

We are now offering a new extended nine month session.
That's 38 six hour classes, bringing the total number of instructional hours per session to 228.
We still offer classes one day per week (on the weekend), with the same excellent teacher to student ratio.

The New Spring Session will be starting up Saturday May 1, 2010, with the final class of the session falling on Saturday March 5, 2011.
Classes will run from 11:00am to 6:00pm.

We've made the change to our program thanks to the suggestions of many of our graduate students.
The aim is to have the end of the Workshop coincide as closely as possible with the deadlines for submitting portfolio's to animation schools like Sheridan and Seneca College.

Registration for the new 2010 spring session has commenced, so REGISTER NOW!!

Look forward to seeing you there!
