Prospective

I have never attended Gnomon, however once I got a closer look at the campus and what the students are actually capable of learning through the student gallery. I have come to the discission that this school is exactly right for me. Getting started as a 3d character artist I now know how much I have yet to learn, and I am looking forward to taking my education further than ever before.
