Course summary

Our course encompasses two distinct practical themes - concept art and comic art, both of which focus on fundamental, traditional art skills and contemporary digital techniques.In concept art you will be helped 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. In comic art you will develop a practical understanding of idea generation, visual storytelling and visual communication.These two themes mean you will access a wide range of creative possibilities and opportunities. They 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.The course features regular guest lectures and workshops, giving you an opportunity to experience first-hand what it takes to design successful content. Our studio culture encourages peer collaboration and networking with industry professionals to support you as you create your portfolio.You will be able to develop skills in your own special interests and graduate as a skilled comic and concept artist, ready to work in a range of roles across the creative industries.Key features- Engage with learning and teaching through hands-on practical activity, supported by our expert academic team and vibrant studio culture. - Benefit from special guest lectures to enhance your understanding of the industry and learn directly from film and game industry professionals. - Produce your own portfolio to enhance your employability, by taking final-year modules in Personal Exploration and Professional Practice.- Through block teaching, you will focus on one subject at a time instead of several at once.
