• Year 1 You will start by focusing on developing your existing traditional artistic abilities, covering areas such as life, still life and other observational art, including essentials such as proportion, anatomy, and composition, all whilst bringing this into the digital arena. • Year 2 Building on year 1, you will continue to explore 3D digital art, environments, digital painting and game engines. You will also become competent in 3D modelling, learning the necessary skills including character animation, lighting and digital sculpting. • Year 3 Your skills will continue to develop, alongside a thorough understanding of game design fundamentals and an appreciation of the game design process and accepted workflows, culminating in your third-year honours project which will become the centrepiece of your portfolio and should reflect the area of game art in which you plan to specialise.
