Vancouver Institute of Media Arts (VanArts) is a private post-secondary school in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada founded in 1995. VanArts has a campus on Dunsmuir street in Downtown Vancouver consisting of four floors of the building at 600 - 570 Dunsmuir Street. Originally focusing only on classical animation, VanArts started with veteran animator/director Lee Mishkin, winner of the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1970 with ''Is It Always Right to Be Right?'', as its founding program director. ''Animation Career Review'' ranked VanArts as #1 in Western Canada and #11 in the world for animation training in 2012. The strength of VanArts' one-year diploma programs was highly regarded alongside prestigious universities and 4-year degree programs.〔(Animation Career Review Top 100 Schools for Animation, Gaming & Design )〕 This list was compiled through a mixture of school reviews, industry-reviewed lists like The Princeton Review, and survey of animation industry professionals from companies such as Pixar and Dreamworks. VanArts is accredited through the Private Career Training Institutions Agency (PCTIA).〔(PCTIA - VanArts Registration & Accreditation )〕 ==History== VanArts was founded in 1995 with Academy-Award winning animator/director Lee Mishkin as its founding program director.〔(VanArts About Us Page )〕 VanArts has a variety of highly focused diploma programs designed to prepare students to be a skilled and specialized workforce in specific areas of the media arts including Visual Effects Production, Game Asset Design, Character Animation, Digital Photography, Acting for Film & Television, Web Development and Broadcasting. The first campus for VanArts was on West Broadway street in Vancouver, and by 1998 it had moved downtown to 837 Beatty Street. Originally offering programs for classical and computer animation, the school expanded to offer Game Art & Design in 2003 and Visual Effects in 2004. Upon adding the first Digital Photography program in North America in 2006, VanArts needed to expand and moved to a new campus at 626 West Pender Street. In 2008, the William Davis Centre for Actors Study joined up with VanArts and became its Acting department. Another move happened in 2010 to its current location at 570 Dunsmuir Street. 2011 brought new departments for Web Development & Interactive Design, and the addition of Broadcasting for Radio & Television from the esteemed faculty of Columbia Academy School of Broadcast Arts. 2011 also marked VanArts’ first degree pathway agreement with Woodbury University〔(Woodbury University/VanArts - Degree Pathway )〕 in Burbank, CA, soon to be followed by further pathways with Deakin University〔(Deakin/VanArts Degree Pathway )〕 in Melbourne, Australia, Bond University〔(Bond/VanArts Degree Pathway )〕 and Griffith University〔(Griffith/VanArt Degree Pathway )〕 in Queensland, Australia, Media Design School〔(Media Design School/VanArt Degree Pathway )〕 in Auckland, New Zealand, University of Gloucestershire〔(Glocestershire/VanArts Degree Pathway )〕 in the United Kingdom. In 2013, VanArts signed an agreement for its first local degree pathway with the Vancouver campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University.〔(Fairleigh Dickinson/VanArts Degree Pathway )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「VanArts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
