" The concept art curriculum offers a complete program with professional teachers working in the industry to teach us everything we need to know to be a concept artist. I already learned a lot about differents processes to develop and achieve a project, improved my design and learned to use new technologies such as Virtual Reality. The small number of students and the amount of feedbacks we can get allows us to get better much faster. "
