Program Description
Concept artists develop the initial visual concepts (characters, props, vehicles, environments) from a script or creative brief. They set the tone and style of the work, giving life to an abstract idea. Concept art is used as a reference point throughout a project's development. This concentration focuses on 2D illustration, as well as basic 3D modelling and illustration in other fields such as children's books, technical drawing, and more.
