Course Credit:  3

This class teaches the fundamentals of game art production from a broad perspective. Students will learn to work within multiple specialties within the game art field in order to build up a general understanding of the pipeline and processes involved. Emphasis is placed on strong foundation skills, compelling conceptual ideas, and self-motivated problem solving. Class will consist of lectures, demonstrations, in-class workshops, and take-home projects. The second half of the class will be devoted to an all-inclusive final project, where students will work in groups to build a compelling playable game world. The final project will serve as a culmination of all they have learned in the class, as well as become a platform for further experimentation and problem solving. This class will not focus on a single element, but rather, it will attempt to give a broad overview of the role that art plays in the creation of Games.
