History


In 1985, the “CG Curriculum Study Group” was started within the JCGL (Japan Computer Graphics Lab.), And in 1988 the “Study Group on the development of Computer Graphics and Image Processing engineers”, which would later become the basis of the CG-ARTS, was established, along with researchers from eleven universities in Japan. In 1990, with the support of Canon Marketing Japan and IT companies, preparation was started to establish a judicial foundation, and in 1991 a systematic CG education curriculum was completed, together with the establishment of the CG-ARTS.
