Electronic Music Production Electronic Music Production certificate program (Full-Time) The Electronic Music Production Certificate Program trains producers on a number of levels, from individuals who will be writing, recording, and producing their own work, to individuals who will be recording and producing other artists’ works, to composers who will be writing, recording, and producing work for commercial purposes (such as scores for film, TV, and games). The recording industry has changed significantly with the ongoing development of recording and producing software like Cubase that allow producers to work independently outside of the studio environment. Often you will find producers only using commercial studios to finalize the mix. The other instruments, vocals, effects, and mixing, will be taken care of outside of the commercial studio, saving significant money for recording artists.

Students in this program will be using either a Mac or PC laptop, an audio interface, and the following software (all of which they keep): Cubase, Ableton Live, Reason, Native Instruments Komplete, Miroslav Philharmonik, and a mixing package. The students will register the computer and software in their own names. While students will produce the majority of their work on their own computer, they will also be working in some of Vancouver’s top commercial recording studios.

Entry into this program is based on an interview. Students will receive extensive one-on-one instruction and consultation. All instructors are professional musicians and producers from the music industry, chosen for their extensive technical knowledge and industry recognized expertise.

Singer-Songwriter Certificate Program Singer-Songwriter Certificate Program (Full-Time) The Singer-Songwriter Certificate Program is the first comprehensive program for the performing songwriter. The program consists of five intensive classes (Music Theory for the Songwriter, Performance Skills, Basic Digital Recording, Songwriting, and Music Business) that are held over a five-day/14-week period (280 hours of class time plus additional performance hours). The program will run three times a year with start dates in January, May, and September.

Most music programs focus on songwriting OR performance. The fact that this program is targeted to the singer/songwriter who performs makes it unique. The complete course of studies and certification process occurs in 14 weeks. Finally, all instructors in the program have, and continue to pursue, a professional career. They possess the knowledge and have the experience that aspiring singer/songwriters need, and are anxious to share that knowledge and experience with motivated students.

arts Stylistic Movements in Illustration CICP1021 Many great artists of the past were in tune with the idea of visual communication and the need to connect with the audiences of their day. As illustration progressed from the 19th to the 20th centuries, the advent of offset printing created what is now called the Golden Age of Illustration - and the rest as they say is history. With this exciting and unique take on the traditional art history class, students will follow the styles and art movements that influenced illustration from the invention of the printing press to present-day digital media. This will also be a hands-on approach to learning, with drawing and painting exercises mixed with lecture and visual presentation.

Life Drawing 2 CICP1022 In this next level of life drawing students will continue to study the forms and proportions of the human figure, as in Level 1, but with an illustration-based direction. With the life model as a source of reference there will be more emphasis on how figure drawing relates to illustration in a storytelling and narrative capacity.

Students will work on exercises involving the human figure while continuing to learn the basics of anatomy and proportion.

Various media ranging from graphite, watercolour, pastels, and acrylic will continue to be employed as students begin understanding how the figure relates to the environment it exists in.

Commercial Illustration Certificate Program (Part-Time) The Commercial Illustration Certificate Program is an extensive program aimed at individuals who wish to pursue a career in commercial illustration, or who wish to update their illustration skills. The program consists of 18 courses that include traditional art training – from Life Drawing and Media Techniques to Drawing for Illustration – as well as working with digital applications like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. This program explores stylistic strategies for commercial illustrators as well as critical business issues such as pricing, contracts, and self-promotion, and students will produce a commercially viable portfolio of work as their graduation project.

Location Main Campus

Schedule Information • Entry Dates: May, September, and January

Info, Resources & Forms

Instructors in the program are working illustration professionals with significant teaching experience in the applied arts who bring the highest degree of industry experience and award-winning credentials to the program. Students will work on projects that emulate real industry situations and learn through a mentorship style of instruction that mimics the art director-illustrator relationship in the real world.

www.langara.bc.ca/cs/illustration

Certificate Requirements Upon completion of the 18 required courses in the Commercial Illustration Certificate Program, students will qualify to apply for certification. This process is free of charge and involves sending the student’s final portfolio to a panel of top industry illustrators and client representatives. When the majority of the panel agree that the portfolio is commercially viable, the student will receive certification. We recommend the student plan on completing the program in six terms before applying for a certificate.

Lifetime Alumni Benefits Once a student finishes the 18 required courses for certification, they receive Lifetime Alumni Status. This means that students may retake any course within the Commercial Illustration Program for free, for the rest of their lives, if they wish to reinforce their skills. On top of this, graduates from the Commercial Illustration Certificate Program may take any course up to full certification in either the Photography Certificate Program or the Communication Arts Certificate Program (graphic design and advertising art direction) at a 50% discount.

Graduates from Commercial Illustration may also take any course in the Digital Media Series for free (production software courses including the Adobe Creative Suite) so that students can upgrade their skills as new versions of software emerge.

ESL +2 +2 Langara’s ESL programs use an integrated approach to language learning. Rather than teach skills in isolation, we take a more holistic approach. We combine the language skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing, and focus on a variety of relevant and interesting topics. Using a content-based curriculum, we engage students in activities that require the use of a variety of skills and strategies to encourage authentic communication.

This creates a dynamic, student-centred learning environment in which students acquire language in a natural and meaningful way. Gradually, students learn to approach classroom content the same way as Canadian students whose first language is English.

Langara offers two ESL programs that focus on moving students into university in the shortest possible time: Skills Training for English Proficiency (STEP) and Langara English for Academic Purposes (LEAP).

Speaking LEAP STEP = Skills Training for English Proficiency

LEAP = Langara English for Academic Purposes Note: ESL Entry Level is determined by a placement test upon arrival at Langara College.

My LEAP Experience!

In the LEAP Program, I was constantly being challenged. The LEAP Program not only improved my English, but also taught the importance of critical thinking and the knowledge that is necessary to practice it. Completing this program gave me a sense of confidence that I needed as a young international student.

After graduating from LEAP in 2008, I studied in the University Transfer program at Langara. I then transferred to York University where I’m now doing a double major in Human Rights and Equity Studies and Political Science. I am now taking a year-off from school and starting an internship program at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Tokyo. I am very excited and looking forward to what this will lead to in the future.
