Overview
The Game Art & Design program combines art, animation, computer technology, sound design, story development and game design.
The Game Art and Design program from Woodbury University offers specialized tracks for both artists and designers. All Game Art & Design students take game courses together while they simultaneously develop their own art or design specialties. Game art focuses on two-dimensional and three-dimensional character, environmental design and animation. Game design focuses on elements such as game conceptualization, play mechanics, game rules, story, program flow, scoring systems and prototyping.
The Game Art & Design program brings together art, animation, computer technology, sound design, storytelling and game design. It aligns with both the Applied Computer Science and the Animation programs, sharing many courses in their major sequence. Students work together in a cross-disciplinary team environment of artists and designers that mirrors the professional world. They learn to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing technology, both in the production and distribution of video games. Students learn to focus their professional skill set, as they discover and develop their own creative voice.
