The games industry is booming. Interactive design, gamification, ed-tech, 3D games and boardgames are gaining in popularity and the markets keep growing year over year.
The BTS Game Art & Game Design is a rich, 2-year learning experience which lays the foundation for design thinking aimed at the interactive space. The curriculum creates foundational design skills for many other creative jobs.
The strength of the BTS format lies in its firmly guided but hands-on nature and state-of-the-art equipment. Industry professionals and traditional art teachers work together to create challenging environments which produce valuable real-world skills.
Perspectives
The game artist has strong 3D and art skills and is capable of designing and producing 2D and 3D work for a variety of media productions including interactive 3D experiences.
Creative Work: Research, conceptualize and take creative decisions. Work with color, shape and volume to design virtual worlds, their content and their inhabitants.
Master Technical Tasks: Work with modern, specialized software and create the 2D & 3D assets, levels and characters required to bring digital games to life.
Collaborate in Teams: The production of games relies on the teamwork of specialized creatives and programmers. This is why we collaborate closely with the BTS Game Programming & Game Design: This unique approach allows our students to create game prototype projects that are visually designed and technically functional.
