Concept Art School in Montreal

"I went to Syn Studio with the goals of meeting people, making contacts, pushing my work and getting feedback on it. Syn Studio did not disappoint. I met amazing professionals of the industry (which I never had in four years of University!) and motivated students. I made lots of good friends and met a teacher that eventually got me an Interview at WB games Montréal to work on my first AAA."

"I didn't have a background in fine arts when I joined the school and I somehow managed to understand a great deal in very little time. The teachers are not just passionate about helping their students, they are also active in their industry and would even go as far as to teach their in-house pipeline. Suffice to say that I was blown away by them. In addition, nothing beats being in a classroom with like-minded people. I would not be where I am today without Syn Studio."

"Syn Studio is what really kick started my career. I owe them everything. The experience changed my life. [...] For me, the best moments were when some of the teachers would give us personal advice or would tell us about a technique we had never heard of. Those moments made me feel like a student at Hogwarts discovering some new spell. I felt that way very often at Syn Studio."

"I was attending the Academy of Realist Art in Toronto, which is a great school, but doesn't offer any classes to learn how to make professional concept art. I chose to study at Syn Studio because it had a unique offering of working professionals teaching the classes and lots of open studio time to practice. "

"I’ve taken classes over the years and enjoyed them a lot, particularly because of the variety they have to offer. A big takeaway for me was the motivation of being around talented artists and teachers. This combined with a professional level education has pushed me farther as an artist and taught me what I needed to know to prepare for the industry. I would definitely recommend Syn Studio to anyone seeking to make it as a professional artist or to anyone interested in art."

"The time I spent at Syn Studio has really changed my life [..] I am working as a conceptual designer for exhibitions of National Geographic, Disney and Hasbro’s Transformers for Latin America. [...] It was amazing to learn from teachers with so much experience. Thanks to that, I learned the tools that allowed me to reach the next level in my career. "

"I decided to study at Syn Studio because it looked like the only place in Montreal that offered these kind of classes without needing to be part of a school program. [...] The teacher Frederic Bennett was really down to earth, nice and approachable. The students were really kind too and we had a good mix of levels in the class. "

"I have a lot of amazing memories from Syn Studio.[..] [My favourite memories are] meeting an amazing artist like Charles Vinh, Lincoln Hughes, Christian de Massy or Salgood Sam [for the first time], the environment, full of concept art, illustration, the amazing personal feedback on my work, the opportunity to go to different companies! I can only say that my experience in Syn Studio was Amazing, and if I could repeat it, I would do it infinite times!!"
