Game Art & Design

Love gaming? Ever wonder how your favorite video game characters
come to life?

In Game Art & Design at The Art Institutes, you’ll gain the background you need to transform imagination into reality. You’ll learn the art and design skills that Game Art & Design professionals use every day — from modeling and storyboarding to design and 3-D illustration.

Instructors — many of whom have experience in the gaming industry — will share their experience, giving you an edge when you head out into the real world. And you’ll use industry-related software and equipment as you learn.

Along the way, you’ll create a portfolio of your work, ready to
show potential employers.

Sound like a career path you’re ready to bring to life? We’ll show you how an education at one of The Art Institutes can help to prepare you to seek entry-level employment as a game designer, modeler, storyboard artist, animation artist, 3-D illustrator, or FX artist.
