Concept Art | ArtFusion Media School - To hone and nurture tomorrow's digital artists, content creators, and agents-of-change

Concept art is a form of illustration where the main goal is to convey a visual representation of a design, idea, and/or mood for use in film, comics, or game design before it is put into the final product. This specialization trains the students' imaginative and creative minds to develop their concept of scenes and characters in animation, game design, and special effect visualization. A concept artist draws or paints images which illustrate the look, feel, design, and color of the featured production. Concept art is also referred to as "visual development" in traditional animation, and play a key role in the animation pipeline.

CREATING BRAVE NEW WORLDS
Concept Artists create breathtaking visuals that transport audiences to imaginative new realms. As they establish the style and design of characters and props, and determine the mood and atmosphere of sets and environments, Concept Artists play an integral creative role in the production team.

This Specialisation provides comprehensive training in the traditional and digital techniques of Concept Art. From fine art and comic art, to digital matte painting and compositing–students will acquire creative skills and stretch the boundaries of their imagination. In addition, the first year Foundation Studies will impart the fundamentals of the entire digital production pipeline.

A DREAM-CAREER MADE REAL
As the Digital Media Industry blossoms, the increase in digital content production will drive the demand for Concept Artists. Their creative visions and revolutionary designs already inspire film and broadcast production, game creation, medical and architectural visualisation, and even print design and advertising. Concept Artists will enjoy a creative future as limitless as their own imagination.
