Overview

Advanced Diploma - Game – Art

The Game - Art three-year advanced diploma at George Brown College is a rigorous program of study focusing on the principles and techniques of video game art creation required to break into the industry.

As a student of this program, you will develop both two-dimensional and three-dimensional artistic abilities by learning concept art, sprite and pixel art, modelling, texturing, animation and level design. 

Taught by faculty with industry experience and mentored by local game industry leaders, you will develop games for commercial, educational and other purposes.

You will have the unique opportunity to develop commercial-quality games in a simulated video game studio environment, sometimes working with industry partners and game programmers. 

In the second year, you choose whether to specialize in game modelling or game animation.

Prior to graduation, you will assemble a portfolio/demo of your creative work demonstrating your ability in game development and highlighting your chosen area of specialization. 

It is anticipated that graduates of the Game Development program will find employment in the game industry at entry-level positions.

Students with approved portfolios are eligible for non-mandatory external field placements in semester 5 and/or semester 6.
