二、 学校概述：

    加州艺术学院（英语： California Institute of the Arts ，简称： CalArts ），是一所位于美国洛杉矶（ Valencia ， Los angeles ， California ）的顶尖艺术学院，由华特 · 迪士尼（ Walt Disney ）投资成立，创办于 1961 年，被全美六大地区认证协会之一的美国西部学校和学院协会（ WASC ）授权可颁发 BFA 及 MFA 学位。至今约有五十余年历史，曾培养出无数的杰出艺术创作者，其专业艺术家、表演艺术工作者、电影制片、动画制作等创意人才分布在世界各地。在 贝维克斯国际共同社 权威发布的 BAI 世界美院排名中，世界第三名，世界四大美院之一。

知名校友

加州艺术学院（ California Institute of the Arts ）的校友均为当今动画、电影产业的著名人士，例如苏菲亚 · 科波拉（ Sofia Coppola ），曾在加州艺术学院（ California Institute of the Arts ）学习美术专业 ，导有《爱情，不用翻译》；蒂姆 · 波顿（ Tim Burton ），曾着有《阴间大法师》、《剪刀手爱德华》、 《蝙蝠侠》、《圣诞夜惊魂》、《决战猩球》等。兔斯基形象的作者王卯卯也曾就读于此。由于加州艺术学院（ California Institute of the Arts ）为迪士尼所投资，因此长期以来，该校学生有着更多的机会参与迪士尼一系列动画电影制作，许多迪士尼动画师都是由此校毕业，例如于 2001 年五月已经去逝的迪士尼水彩背景大师 Maurice Noble htt ，其成名作即为迪士尼第一部长篇动画《白雪公主》，如诗幻梦的水彩背景便出自他手。五十多年来，该校持续保持艺术院校动画专业第一，并以极低的录取率和师生比例享誉全美。至于今天，《熊的传说》、《海底总动员》、《狮子王》、《风中奇缘》、《花木兰》等动画电影幕后工作，依然常常由该校学生完成，他们往往毕业后有更大机会进入迪士尼、皮克斯等公司。
