Description: Chimirus specializes in digital arts training for the modern demands of the creative world. We are dedicated to training the next generation of artists—emerging students and working professionals achieve the next level of success in their career. We are firm believers in professionals instructing the profession and we focus on the skills required for success in the creative industry. We approach instruction by craft, process and workflow—not software, to develop a deeper core understanding of digital art and design. The name Chimirus is a nod to the “Chimera,” a three-headed beast from Greek folklore with the head of a lion, body of a goat and the tail of a snake. Something legendary; existing only in one’s imagination. In this case, our “beast” represents today’s three core digital production needs: Design, 3D and Animation. The first part of the name, “Chi”—well, no surprises there. Chi is our hometown. The city we know and love: Chicago. The second half, “mirus” in Latin means “to wonder” or “marvel.” It is literally where the magic happens. Because, isn’t that really what we as artists do? We create that magic; that wonder.
