Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Game Art and Animation] From Champlain College

Champlain's program builds the artistic and technical skills needed to develop the quality portfolio recruiters require. Employers are looking for talented artists with good time management skills, the ability to engage in critiques and work collaboratively. You'll graduate with the combination of hard and soft skills needed to be a productive artist in the game industry.

Through collaborations with other students, teaching and hands-on experience, you'll immerse yourself in the aesthetic techniques needed to create games, as well as game production, level design, conceptual art and computer theory.

This deep set of proficiencies in multiple areas will increase your marketability in this fast-paced industry. From game programming to game writing, you'll graduate with a distinct set of state-of-the-art skills that an education in a traditional game art and animation program wouldn't provide.

By the time you complete the academic and portfolio requirements for your Game Art & Animations degree, you will be able to:

• Generate innovative ideas and go beyond the obvious and already defined.

• Recognize the underlying principles guiding the relevant aesthetics of a particular genre of work, art movement or artist.

• Differentiate what is aesthetically successful or unsuccessful.

• Identify and apply foundational theories and approaches that inform contemporary creative work.

• Synthesize trends, theories and movements in the development of new ideas.
