Job Summary:

undefined


Imagine getting a script page with a description of a decrepit old house in a charming neighborhood. What type of architecture conveys the spooky mood of the house? What colors show its age and what the house once was before all of the decay? What type of lighting will make the audience a little bit nervous while still giving the viewer clarity about where the front door is located? Is the type font on the welcome mat trying to tell us something about what’s about to happen? What does a little girl look like who’s brave enough to knock on the front door but too scared to do so without her hands shaking?

If you think it would be fun and interesting to answer these types of questions with your drawings, then perhaps an internship in the Pixar Art Department is for you! There are four major disciplines within our Art Department. Here are some descriptions to pique your interest:
