Animation is an art that combines various disciplines and techniques such as cinema, painting, sculpture, photography etc. This art form was long perceived as the creation of movement frame by frame, and it was widely regarded as an entertainment genre that’s reserved for kids or for “not so serious” audiences. With the arrival of digital technologies, animation has now became a narrative form that is employed not only in cinema, but in every aspect of our daily lives.

Yaşar University Animation department was opened within the Faculty of Art and Design in 2013 in order to graduate qualified artists that can perform in this large field.
