about

The Esad in Amiens proposes art teaching geared towards the image: graphic design, typography, digital design, animation (3d animation).
Its historic department proposes a five year course in graphic and visual communication. At the end of the first three years, students can specialize in digital design and, if they so wish, prepare the User eXperience Design Masters of the Compiégne University of Technology. At the end of the 5 year graphic design course students can join the post graduate “Typography and Language” course (+16 months).
The Esad opened a second training department for animated images (3D animation) in 2010. This training allows students to develop a collective approach necessary for the creation and production of film and, on an individual level, a unique and artistic approach geared towards a speciality in the domain of animation.

3D Animation

Waide Somme is a department dedicated to training in 3D digital animation. It teaches animators who will later work in the domains of feature films, short films, special effects, video games and any audiovisual production which requires animated images. The training lasts for 9 months. Students see the ensemble of the elaboration of an animated film. They then make a short film which allows them to use the sum of their knowledge.
