Computer Games (Art)

About this course

Computer games art is the visual and creative discipline that makes digital games visually compelling and immersive. Every character, environment, prop, effect, and user interface element in a game is designed and created by games artists, working at the intersection of visual art, technical skill, and an understanding of how players experience interactive worlds. The discipline encompasses 2D and 3D art, character design, environment creation, texturing, lighting, and increasingly the use of real-time rendering engines and procedural tools that are reshaping how games are made. At Southampton Solent University this three-year full-time programme includes a foundation year, giving you a solid entry point into the discipline before the main degree begins. The course focuses on core game art skills, professionalism, and portfolio building, which are the three elements that matter most whe
