Student that get into a course like this should have a basic understanding of traditional or 3D art. They don't want you to be a professional, but a portfolio is required. PS. I'm not a student there, but I plan on applying next year.
Nice to see our students work being featured on "80.lv", also nice when students really go for it with their final major project. https://80.lv/articles/simple-stylized-environment-scale-and-mood/
