Concept Art

This new two-year Foundation Degree equips learners to create characters, environments and narratives for games, film and animation. Early units build anatomy, perspective and gesture skills, which then feed into character and environmental design. Students tackle original intellectual property and client commissions, producing concept art packages that show creative and technical range. Modern digital studios supply professional 2D and 3D software, pen displays, stop-motion equipment and a green screen. Narrative and storytelling run alongside portfolio work and collaborative projects alongside peers from other vocational areas. Graduates finish with a portfolio prepared for the games, film and animation industries, along with confidence in working to a professional brief. Students also learn to plan their own studio schedules. The course runs for two years. It is studied full-time. Teaching is based at the Rye Hill Campus. The next start date is 13th September 2027.
