There is no industry hotter than video games, and the
accredited Game Art Certificate program
at the Sessions School of Game Art was built with one objective—to help you break into game development.
At the Sessions School of Game Art, you'll learn to build, texture, light, and animate 3D characters and environments. Our accredited curriculum gives you the art and design skills to create artwork and animation for today's next-generation games. When you finish the program, you'll have put together a reel that turns heads.
Our Faculty members discuss the game art program and talk about what it takes to break into game development.
