Your child becomes a real animator. Industry tools (Krita, Procreate, Blender, After Effects) — taught from age-appropriate basics in our bilingual classes. By year-end, they have a portfolio that schools and animation programs take seriously.
For under-10 learners, animation starts as play. Drawing on tablet apps like FlipaClip and Procreate Dreams, your child creates frame-by-frame stories — and ends the year with their first short film.
Four play-based seasons. 24 class hours each + 1 workshop.
First digital drawing on tablet. Layers, color, simple characters.
First animations in FlipaClip. The magic of 12 drawings per second.
Storyboarding, designing their very own character, building a tiny world.
Each child polishes a 30–60 second short. We premiere all films at the family exhibition.
For 10–14, animation moves into industry tools at a teen-friendly pace. Krita, Blender, and a first look at After Effects. By year-end, your child has a real 2D + 3D portfolio.
Four progressive seasons with real industry tools.
Drawing fundamentals + Krita interface mastery.
The 12 principles of animation. Real frame-by-frame work in Krita and OpenToonz.
Blender for teens. Modeling, lighting, basic rigging, render.
Each student produces a 60–90 second mixed 2D/3D short. Premiered at the diaspora exhibition.
For 14–19, the program goes professional. Industry-grade workflows — Blender to After Effects to DaVinci Resolve. Capstone films from our alumni have helped them get into art schools across Europe and North America.
Four production-level seasons + capstone film.
Professional 2D pipeline — Krita, Photoshop, Procreate. Concept art for film/games.
Production-grade Blender. Sculpting, retopology, PBR shading, Cycles render.
After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, simple Houdini intro. Real VFX shots.
A 2–4 minute short film built end-to-end. Past capstones have helped alumni get into RISD, Sheridan, ArtCenter, and Gobelins-track schools.
Tasnim took her first Krita lesson with us from Toronto at 12. Her capstone short film, made entirely in our online classes, became part of her Sheridan Animation portfolio. She's now in her second year.
"The bilingual classes meant my parents could follow what I was learning — they cried at my final premiere. I still have classmates from Tehran and Berlin who I work with on shared projects."
A teacher will chat with your child, review any work they already do, and recommend the right age band. Free 90 minutes.
Recommended but not required for the first season. We provide setup guides for laptop + mouse, Wacom tablets, iPad with Apple Pencil, or Android tablets. We help you pick what fits your budget.
Almost everything is free or open-source — Krita, Blender, DaVinci Resolve, OpenToonz are all free. Only at the high-school track do we touch After Effects (free 1-week trials suffice for class projects).
Perfect starting point. Season 1 of every age band starts with the basics. We've taught total beginners who finished the year with festival-quality work.
Bilingual — English and Persian, your choice per session. Most diaspora families pick English with Persian explanations when needed.
Yes. Each season has a 2-week onboarding window with catch-up sessions.
