“Exceptional Minds is so unique in the way it works with students on the autism spectrum,” says Tim Dailey, the school’s academic dean and director of academic programs. Using products and technology provided in part by Apple’s community grants program, the school trains neurodivergent artists for employability in entertainment through a blend of technical training, hands-on experience, and career-path planning. Ibarra is in her first year at Exceptional Minds, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit academy and studio founded in 2011, where she and her fellow students can often be found working in the lab, taking figure drawing classes, and learning how to render motion graphics.
She’s been using Procreate with Apple Pencil on iPad for years to hone her craft, with a dream of someday working as an animator or visual effects artist in Hollywood. Ibarra pulls up an illustration of a Renaissance-era figure interpreted through an anime aesthetic. “I thought, ‘I need to put this on paper and let it come to life.’ I draw stuff and it becomes what it wants.”
“My mind has always been popping out really creative stuff - endlessly,” Ibarra explains. Growing up in Burbank, California, Angela Ibarra always knew she wanted to be an artist. With support from Apple, the Los Angeles-based nonprofit and academy is preparing a new generation of animators, VFX artists, and motion graphics designers Adobe is also making available a six-month trial and a free version of Fresco with a reduced set of tools, Adobe recommends using Apple Pencil but it is not required.At Exceptional Minds, autistic artists turn creativity into careers But is also available to purchase separately without a subscription if preferred.
