Creating graphics like in movies and ads

Kodland's Design courses turn "I want to make something awesome" into "Wow, I made this myself!". Our students create posters, characters, and entire scenes and then learn to animate it all using the same tools as professional designers and animators. They’ll finish with a portfolio of work they’re genuinely proud of.

“I was inspired by different designs and how I would like a room like that for myself, with objects for the hobbies I enjoy. I really liked how the space was used, how everything is in its place, and it looks truly functional. The hardest part was adding the image to the painting and the little chain.”

“This is my little village with an old cathedral that I made in Blender. It’s my final project, and I tried to use everything I learned: how to move things, how to draw them in 3D, and what colors to use. My idea didn't really change, and I love how it turned out. Thanks to my teacher and my friends for always helping me!”

Reviews

Thousands of families are already with us

Minecraft

My son is very satisfied with his classes at Kodland. He has an excellent teacher, and the online lessons work smoothly without any technical issues. I always receive fast and helpful responses from the company whenever I reach out.

Web Design

I've already learned how to do web design. I've created some really good websites including a pizzeria website.

Python

The classes are actually fun. Last week we had a competition to see who could make the funniest bot. And when you mess up, nobody freaks out about it, they just help you fix it. That's huge for me. And I actually helped my friend with his computer science homework and he got an A! Now everyone thinks I'm some kind of coding wizard, which is pretty cool.

Unity

My son struggles with making friends — school's been tough for him. I was nervous about putting him in another group situation, even in an online format. But here something clicked. He was partnered with another kid on a project, and now they're basically inseparable. They FaceTime and text constantly... It's exactly what I'd hoped for!

Roblox

Noah's problem was he liked everything — coding one day, design the next, then drawing , etc. We didn't want to drop money on a course only for him to lose interest two weeks in. The mentor in the first lesson suggested game development since it combines coding and visuals. Smart call! Noah's been glued to his first game project ever since. He finally found his thing.
