From mobile phones to home appliances and futuristic driverless cars, technology today is all about programming. Nothing is impossible, but where does one start? All you need is a taste for problem-solving, some basic math, and you’re all set.
Students are introduced to programming and HTML, providing them with the tools to create the App of their dreams.

Animation is all about fun and hard work. Students will learn to create characters and bring them to life. Learning the principles of animation, they will discover the nature of how we move, talk, and act in different situations. As Glen Keane once said: “Animators are the actors but with the pencil.”After passing 3 levels of the animation workshop, students will have a strong base to continue animating and further improving their skills. They can use all of this knowledge in 3D animation, stop motion animation… all types of animation.
Level I Workshop
It’s here that students first become familiar with the history and various types of 2D animation, learning about the principles of animation used by every working animator today. This includes screening examples in anticipation of what teens will soon be creating.
Throughout the remaining workshop sessions, students become fully immersed in learning Toon Boom (the new industry standard) and finally create movement with a character of their own design.
Level II Workshop
It’s during Level 2 that TUMOians discover and learn to utilize additional principles of animation. Throughout this level, the student becomes an animator, learning to communicate their character’s thoughts through their walking style e.g. sad characters walk droopy-like and happy characters with a little pep in their step.
Level III Workshop
This workshop isn’t so much about learning animation, as it is about developing their skills as both an animator and a director. Using what they’ve learned about the animation process and its principles, students will create 10-second animated shorts. Each student will develop their own story and will need to take into account the storyboard, planning their short’s individual shots and decide on the overall style of their animation.
From learning Photoshop and Illustrator to studying 2D graphics, this course teaches students how to communicate through drawing and graphic design.
Students will learn to distinguish different color nuances and use Photoshop to create and color their own characters.
Level two Graphic Design Workshop

This course involves discovering different artists and exploring the history of drawing and painting, whist developing one’s own style. Students will learn to master Photoshop and will do lots of drawing by hand to create, shade and color characters. In this course, students are encouraged to draw as much as possible in order to develop their own personal expression.
Students will learn to distinguish different color nuances and use Photoshop to create and color their own characters.
Level two Drawing Workshop
Drawing produced by TUMO students in Yerevan during the level two Drawing Workshop.
The music course involves studying different genres, learning a range of classical and electronic instruments, song writing, and more. It’s no secret that in 2018, digital tools are essential to musical creation.
Students can create music using samples, mashups, beat-making, and audio compression.
Level 3 Music Workshop / music sample
This is a sample of a piece created Mariam Minasyanat, student at TUMO Yerevan, during the level 3 Music Workshop.
3D Modeling is increasingly important in cinema, for making special effects, and in the production of video games. It is also very important in advertising, architecture, medicine, and product design. Everything can be made in 3D – one simply needs to know how to do it.
Students will learn the bases of 3D Modeling and how to work with new tools.
