Overview

Full Sail University’s online Game Art Bachelor’s Degree Program is designed to develop artists well-versed in 3D asset creation for game development. With a focus on content for consoles and computers, you’ll work your way through project-based classes that follow a clear progression from the basics of digital art creation up through the latest trends and tools. Along the way, classes like Model Creation, Game Production, Level Design, Production Modeling, 3D Foundations, and Game Cinematic Assets will help you gain the skills necessary to move and improve content through the production pipeline. Each of these specialized classes is based around the same workflow processes found at professional gaming studios – including such core concepts as animation, rigging, character modeling, lighting and shading, and texturing.

Supporting these industry-specific foundations are classes focusing on the fine-art aspects of game content-development, including English composition, historical archetypes, and the psychology of human interaction, as well as general career development skills like communication, personal finance, presentation, public speaking and how to prepare yourself for your first step into the game industry.

Finally, a series of asset evaluation courses will help you prepare and refine the content you’ve created throughout the Game Art program for your job search. This culminates in the Demo Reel Creation class, which has you assemble a cohesive design portfolio, arming you with a comprehensive overview of your work to communicate your visual style and technical proficiency to employers.
