- Spain's Best Animation School
- 14# Among The Top Animation Schools In The World
Universal Arts School is a school founded in 1994, based in Valencia (Spain) and Los Angeles - Hollywood (USA), a pioneer in high-performance training in the field of Video Games, Digital Cinema and VFX, and Animation. With more than 700 awards, it is located in the Top 10 educational rankings in the world (ACR, The Rookies, Financial Magazine, etc.) where it applies its own disruptive “training” methodology called EP (developed during +10 million hours of training ), which allows its students to win international awards (Oscar, Emmy, Cannes, Goya, etc.) as well as work in the Top Studios Industry (Disney, Warner Bros., DreamWorks, Lucas Arts, ILM, Ubisoft, Blizzard, Riot Games, SkyDance, Sony Pictures ImageWorks, Weta Digital, Apple, Digital Domain, etc.).
We could say that there are people who have great professional or personal success despite the type of training received. This means that we all have at our disposal a “click” that we can click whenever we want. The authentic formation must be based on producing an atmosphere in which the person awakens their inner self. There must be a climate of freedom of expression and confidence. Once one connects, learning can take off.
It's about learning an art and a profession, a whole. At present, there is a new revolution in knowledge and intelligence. We take into account concepts such as Emotional Intelligence, 9 Multiple Intelligences, Social Intelligence, Synesthesia, Neurolinguistic Programming, Lateral Thinking, etc. Now it is known that in order to learn, it is necessary to open several simultaneous transversal and connective paths where the person feels that they use all their abilities, not only the cognitive ones.
