Submit approximately 20 images representative of your most recent work. When relevant or necessary, submit videotapes, DVDs, texts, audio CDs, etc. Do not send original work. The faculty is interested in what motivates or inspires each individual applicant, and looks for evidence of this in both the portfolio and the artist statement.

BFA applicants

Submit examples of personal work, not class assignments. We want to know what your interests are and how you represent them in your practice.

MFA applicants

Applicants who have passed the preliminary selection process will be notified by mail in mid-February. At this time, candidates will be invited to visit CalArts in March for an interview and to meet faculty and students. The interview is an all-day event and an important component of the final selection process.

Taking it beyond the holiday snap and using your camera to capture and comment on the world around you forms the foundations for this inspirational course.

Aiming to inform and enable you to create photographs for news reportage, documentary and photoessays, our degree will give you the skills you need to become an adaptable and confident photographer.

The course blends practice, critical analysis, theoretical studies and self-reflection to develop your professionalism and an informed appreciation of photography.

Creating photographs to tell stories about our world, everyday life and the unusual, you’ll learn how to communicate effectively through images and master the power of photography to provide insight. You’ll also learn about the business of photography, such as how to promote and protect your photographs.

You will explore professional practice through valuable work experience opportunities and be encouraged to develop your own individual style. At the end of the course you will be able to work independently, utilising film and digital technology appropriately, and should be well placed to meet the challenge of working in this exciting area of photography and the media.

When looking at animation from a diachronic viewpoint, it becomes clear that it is based on a long history. That microcosm of what we call animation emerged out of an encounter and interference between current film technology and a history of images that dates back to the cave paintings in Altamira. Considering this long, historical and cultural background, it is necessary, in Japan as well as in other parts of the world to value animation as a form of art, and a realm of spatial depth.

The Department of Animation aims to reconfigure the increasingly diffuse world of animation, evaluate the originality of animation in this country from an international perspective, and dedicate ourselves to education, research and the cultivation of creative talent in order to sustain this genres autonomous development.
