Digital Arts: 3D Animation at Pratt

The BFA in 3D Animation and Motion Arts prepares you with the knowledge and skills to flourish in the animation and visual effects sector. The fundamentals of modeling, texturing, lighting, animation, compositing, and simulation are the basis of the curriculum, guided by projects and assignments that ensure these skills are motivated by carefully constructed concepts and stories.

Student Work

The Experience

3D rendering of a woman holding a young child, a girl with pigtails, roma nd window in background, made in a pixar style

The 3D Animation pathway introduces an amazing range of tools and techniques taught by internationally renowned faculty. Studio courses factor in every semester, lending ample opportunity to create an impressive graduation showreel. Most courses are located in our award-winning Myrtle Hall facility, less than 30 minutes away from hundreds of New York’s world famous cultural institutions, many of which sponsor our students through internships.  When not in class, our students are soaking up the limitless screenings, openings, festivals, shows and exhibitions that are occurring throughout the year in New York City.

Digital Arts Facilities

Students in the 3D Animation BFA have excellent studios with access to several digital computing facilities that are outfitted with state of the art Apple and Windows/PC computer stations. These computers are loaded with top of the line animation software including Nuke, Maya, Houdini, Adobe Suite, Unreal, Adobe Substance Painter/Designer, ZBrush, Marvelous Designer, ProTools, and much more. All 3D Animation students also have access to shared Digital Arts facilities that include a green screen room, an audio editing suite, and a world-class spatial computing lab. Further access to Pratt Institute facilities is also possible, including fine art workshops and a large photogrammetry volume.

Internships

The Department of Digital Arts and Animation offers an internship program tailored to digital artists. Throughout the academic year, students partake in internship opportunities at a variety of studios and companies in the metropolitan New York area, gaining skills and experience in areas covering animation, visual effects, motion graphics, game design, interaction design, fine arts, and publishing. 

The internship program places students on their career paths, providing experiences that aid in determining their educational and professional goals. Internships may be taken for college credit by both undergraduate and graduate students. While the Department has our own Internship Coordinator, students may also want to visit Pratt’s extensive network and dedicated staff that supports and facilitates Internships and Industry Connections.

Study Abroad

Immersing yourself in another culture is an incredible experience that can extend the boundaries of creativity. Study abroad programs are an integral part of the college experience, and Pratt has deep connections with university partners around the world. See where you can go.

Learning Resources

We develop disciplinary fluency in our program of study and we celebrate the interdisciplinary nature of art to critically address the plurality and complexity of the environments in which we operate. Learning resources.

  • Today marks the 178th anniversary of the first U.S. stamp. Pratt alumni have a rich history with U.S. stamps. They have depicted pivotal moments in U.S. history and cultural icons on those small squares. Howard Koslow, ’44, was commissioned to draw the Brooklyn Bridge to celebrate its centenary. Michael Deas painted portraits of American icons like Marilyn Monroe and James Dean for the country to admire. 

What started as portraits of President George Washington and first Postmaster-General Benjamin Franklin has evolved into everyday art that honors America’s history.

  • Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day, Liberation Day, or Jubilee Day, marks the day when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned of federal orders ending their bondage on June 19, 1865. The holiday reminds us that emancipation was not immediate and that the road to freedom was long, collective, and hard-fought.

Jacob Lawrence’s “Forward Together” (1997) reflects the spirit of that journey. The painting shows Harriet Tubman guiding others toward liberation, symbolizing the resistance, courage, and unity that pushed the country closer to justice. Tubman’s legacy is part of the foundation that Juneteenth stands on.

Lawrence taught at Pratt Institute from 1956 to 1970, where he shaped young artists in the Art Education and Graphic Art and Design Departments. His work continues to echo through generations, challenging us to reflect on the past and move forward together.

Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day, Liberation Day, or Jubilee Day, marks the day when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned of federal orders ending their bondage on June 19, 1865. The holiday reminds us that emancipation was not immediate and that the road to freedom was long, collective, and hard-fought.

Jacob Lawrence’s “Forward Together” (1997) reflects the spirit of that journey. The painting shows Harriet Tubman guiding others toward liberation, symbolizing the resistance, courage, and unity that pushed the country closer to justice. Tubman’s legacy is part of the foundation that Juneteenth stands on.

Lawrence taught at Pratt Institute from 1956 to 1970, where he shaped young artists in the Art Education and Graphic Art and Design Departments. His work continues to echo through generations, challenging us to reflect on the past and move forward together.
