Course Overview

Start your career in the field where computer science, artistic thinking and entertainment creativity merge. As gaming and interactive media become increasingly popular, experience with game art has never been more rewarding. Lipscomb’s Game Art program prepares students for careers enhancing the visuals of games.

Unlike the technical game development or design degrees, a bachelor's in game art teaches students the foundational art concepts and prepares them to use these foundations in the creation of game ready assets. Study the art of movement through animation and drawing courses, while developing long-lasting connections with expert professionals in a Christian context. They will help you mature both as a game artist and an individual.

As a graduate of this program, you'll have a full game portfolio and foundational knowledge for a career as a visual artist. These skills will secure you a position for a variety of professions, such as a modeler, texture artist, animator or FX artist. Send in your portfolio and apply today.
