"Hi Carla!Max is a school filled with people who are passionate about art. Their teachers are industry professionals who have experience and zeal. Their foundation classes instill not only techniques, but a new way of thinking about art and the world, and one feels the effect in a very short time indeed. The curriculum is strong and comprehensive, and classes interrelate and share everything that is learned. The staff and atmosphere is friendly and the instructors are dedicated to their craft and to their students alike. I have made friends for life here, and have built confidence and ability that will serve me for the rest of my days."

Lubomir Arsov 2007
Animation and Advanced Animation Diplomas
"Max the Mutt has helped me with discipline. It's hard for a teenager with good drawing skills to realize how demanding a career in animation is. You can be creative, but without discipline, an understanding of the principles and organization, you'll never be able to express your creativity."-Lubomir Arsov – Character Designer, The House of Cool, Toronto.
