Degree Overview

The course surrounds two practical themes - concept art and comic art, both of which focus on fundamental, traditional art skills and contemporary digital techniques. Concept art will help and support your journey to master a range of industry-focused tools and techniques for developing pre-production, production and post-production art for the film and video game industries. Comic art will help you develop a practical understanding of idea generation, visual storytelling, and visual communication. The two themes mean you will open the door to a wide range of creative experiences and opportunities. Both are underpinned by contextual studies to inform and enhance your practice through an exploration of the historical, cultural, and social contexts of the wider world of print and web-based comic arts, graphic novels and visual communication.
