The end of the semester is basically just a constant reminder of how good our students are at what they do. 🙌🏽 Students in Professor Walp`s 3D Design course were asked to make an animated abstracted figure. They bent, welded, and painted metal before choosing a spot on campus to show them off. 🦾 Unsurprisingly, the results are incredible. ✨

This semester, a cohort of DMC students had the "Privilege" (😅) of working with a team of pros to create the music video for A.I. the Anomaly`s new song. 🎶 Just another example of the many opportunities the Vikings get to build their resumes, their portfolios & their professional networks as they learn. 🔗 Hit the link in the bio to view the final outcome!
