Required Visual Arts Courses
To be completed by all BFA-seeking students: 3-D Graphics and Animation Emphasis Courses
The 3-D graphics and animation emphasis at the University of Colorado Denver is a competitive and rigorous four-year curriculum focused on preparing students to work in a wide variety of fields that use animated digital computer graphics (CG), including entertainment, film and television, gaming, medicine, and science. The 3-D graphics and animation emphasis courses are billed at a different rate than the standard course tuition due to the state-of-the-art technology used in the program. For more information regarding this rate, contact Howard Cook at howard.cook@ucdenver.edu or the College of Arts & Media Office at CAMadvising@ucdenver.edu.
In order to maintain the highest standards of excellence, acceptance into the 3-D graphics and animation emphasis comes at the end of the first year and is competitive by portfolio review. To be considered, students are required to take the first two courses in the 3-D graphics and animation curriculum, and . These two courses are open to all College of Arts & Media and CU Denver students. Students wishing to enroll in these entry level courses must contact faculty member Howard Cook at howard.cook@ucdenver.edu or the College of Arts & Media Advising Office at CAMadvising@ucdenver.edu before registering.
Selection for entrance into the 3-D graphics and animation emphasis occurs at the end of the first year of the program and is a competitive process (by faculty review) that includes:
- Submission by the candidate of a “Portfolio Demo Reel”. The reel must include original works from and as well as representative works created in other Visual Arts courses completed during the first year of the program. The Portfolio Demo Reel must be turned in as a .mov (Quicktime, H.264, 720x404 minimum frame size, 16:9 aspect ratio). Still work should be a component of the reel and should be on screen for at least 3 seconds but no more than 10 seconds. Name and contact information should appear at the beginning and end of the reel. The reel should not be greater in length than 3.5 minutes.
- A “breakdown sheet”: the run time at which the work occurs and which describes what work is included on the submission reel, and, if collaborative in nature, what aspect of the work shown was created by the applicant. Turn in .pdf only please.
- A one page double-spaced written statement regarding the applicant’s aspirations as a productive and contributing member of the 3-D graphics and animation cohort and the CG community as a whole. Turn in .pdf only please.
- A minimum of a 2.8 GPA in the CU Denver 3-D graphics and animation courses.
The student’s submission package must be submitted electronically - \DACps2>Cook Drop Box>FreshmanPortfolioSubmissions - no later than the first Friday after the spring semester has ended. Notification is by e-mail and/or letter and occurs on or before the first Monday of June of the application year. Upon acceptance, students will be able to enroll in advanced digital animation classes.
Students should show only their best work and show the very best work first. Students should be selective since reels may only be 3.5 minutes long. Music is not recommended for professional reels, but if music is used, students should choose wisely.
Please see http://www.cu3d.org or www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/CAM/programs/va/Pages/3danimation.aspx for the emphasis and portfolio information, or contact area head Howard Cook at howard.cook@ucdenver.edu.
The following courses are required for 3-D graphics and animation students, but are offered at the standard CU Denver tuition rates:
Digital Design Emphasis Courses

Painting/Drawing Emphasis Courses
The painting and drawing emphasis takes a contemporary approach that works to integrate painterly and drawing concerns with focused artistic practice and developing critical dialogue. As a studio discipline, painting and drawing is as rich in visual arts history as it is charged with contemporary innovation. Painting and drawing as a studio practice encourages a multi-faceted dialogue within this continuum. Students are introduced to a variety of techniques and ideas, exposed to several art-historical and contemporary practices, and are challenged to develop a studio process that involves both formal and conceptual impact. Painting and drawing classes are interdisciplinary in that they allow the use of multiple materials and/or techniques in the production of a successful art piece or body of work. Students come away with a strong studio skill base, an engaged conceptual framework, and an ability to take part in the exciting discourse of contemporary painting and drawing.
Students who are applying for entrance into the painting and drawing emphasis are required to submit a written statement, a portfolio of images and unofficial transcript(s) from CU Denver and all previous post-secondary educational institutions. The painting and drawing course sequence starts in fall semester. Students who meet the following requirements can apply.
