Concept art is initially a form of illustration that is used within game development; concept art conveys an idea before it is added to the project. Game developers use concept artists exclusively in order to perform a specific tasks, The most common types of concept art within game development is usually science fiction or fantasy, but due to how games have evolved, it is now possible to find concept art on any theme or topic imaginable. Initially concept art is used to sell an idea to a company before the game is actually developed or goes into production. The idea of concept art in game development is that it appears anywhere that an idea needs to be showcased. As the say goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Concept art showcases the …show more content…
The game production pipeline consists of four phases. The first phase is the concept, the genesis of all the games that are available are a simple concept or idea. The original concept is just a basic initial idea of what the game can be about. The game’s conception can start as a simple idea of either wanting to make a follow up or sequel to an existing game title. The second phase is the pre-production phase; this step is done in the game development process and includes a varied number of staff, including producers, designers, programmers, artists and writers. Together working as a team a comprehensive design document is created a prominent aspect of the pre-production phase incorporates the designers overall blueprint of how the game would be played, this is where the designers and in some cases the programmers must decide on what happens in each screen. After the pre-production phase is completed and the overall blueprint has been finalized, the development of the game enters the third phase. The third phase is much larger and consists of a bigger group of people, the artists that work within this phase work on building the game how the user will see it. The artists consist of concept artists and 3D artists. The final stage of the games development is the post-production stage, this begins when the game is considered “completed” and all the code as being written and the art work is finished and completed.

“In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work. When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.” (Sol LeWitt - Artform, 1967)
Though most works of art have some underlying, deeper meaning attached to them, our first impression of their significance comes through our initial visual interpretation. When we first view a painting or a statue or other piece of art, we notice first the visual details – its size, its medium, its color, and its condition, for example – before we begin to ponder its greater significance. Indeed, these visual clues are just as important as any other interpretation or meaning of a work, for they allow us to understand just what that deeper meaning is. The expression on a statue’s face tells us the emotion and message that the artist is trying to convey. Its color, too, can provide clues: darker or lighter colors can play a role in how we judge a piece of art. The type of lines used in a piece can send different messages. A sculpture, for example, may have been carved with hard, rough lines or it may have been carved with smoother, more flowing lines that portray a kind of gentleness.
What is art? Art and perception are deeply interrelated, since our ability to experience and comprehend artistic works is strongly biased by our own perceptions. Accordingly, any definition of art should emphasize the importance of perception in creating and experiencing art. Yet, each person has his or her own opinion of every artistic work, biased by his or her own perceptions, causing each person to define art as a whole in his or her own subjective manner. Hence, in my opinion it is impossible to create an objective definition of art, if art is something that each person perceives and experiences in a wholly subjective manner.
In Gateways To Art, by Debra J. Dewitte there are easily over a hundred photos to choose from for an analysis paper. I chose Gentileschi, Judith Decapitating Holofernes. This painting was created in 1620 by Artemisia Gentileschi. I will describe the subject matter in the artwork, the composition in the artwork, and why I believe that the artwork is conceptual and perceptual.
The first stage that is introduced in the cycle of video game production is the pre-production stage. This stage is basically putting all the skeletal and frame work down so that in later stages, everything runs as smoothly as possible without having to go back an infinitesimal amount of times to change an unplanned part of the game. As with any large stage in a creation cycle, there are sub-stages within that larger stage to go by. The first is the brainstorming/planning stage. This stage is when the creator asks the questions of “what am I going to make a game about?” and “what kind of team am I going to need for this game?” This stage helps flesh out any ideas that may be moving around in the creator’s head. According to the PBS “Video Game Revolution” interactive guide. “Eve...
By nature, human beings seek to understand and to be understood. We are curious about life. We want to express our personal interpretation of the world around us, and we want to know the interpretation of others to discover how it compares to our own. Art begins with the creator. An artist is driven to express his or her unique perspective be it a musical score, a painting, a literary work, or any number of other forms. There is satisfaction in the mere act of creating, but the work is fulfilled when it strikes a chord in the being of another. Art is a means of relating one specific insight to others by way of emotion, intellect, and the senses. Art is communication, and its greatness can be determined by the impact it has on both the artists and those experiencing the work.
The employment outlook in my area for a Concept Artist in Video Game Development isn’t too promising. Nebraska isn’t the metropolis for technological employment like this, thus I would have to relocate to somewhere along the East or West Coasts, where jobs are more available than they are in the mid-west. This is due to the fact that a lot of the Game Publishing companies, such as Blizzard Entertainment, Monolith Games, a subdivision of Warner Bros. Entertainment, require an applicant to work on-site.
The process starts off by creating a timeline for the animation of what I want in it and well these ideas will flow. I will have to consider what is important to the story and what I think will work best with my intended audience. Once I am happy with my storyboard I will create my characters out of plasticine. This process will take time to do as I must get the characters to look as close to pictures as possible. Once my figures are complete I will need to create certain backdrops for different scenes. Once I have the foundations to begin my project I will first experiment with the figures working on set movements that will appear often in the animation. Once I understand how to use these movements in my animation. After I am comfortable will my skills in the animation I will create it and create versions of it until I am completely satisfied with my finished project. Once I have the animation I will add voicing to the animation and background music to finish
All forms of art contain lies in some manner or another. This is so because humans often only regard their reality as the truth and all other realities as lies. Many refer to art as a reflection of life, while the counterclaim that life reflects art receives equal support. In either case, one of the aspects is “true”, while the other is “a lie”. This is such because the piece that is a reflection of the other is the one that is a lie; if art is reflecting life, and then art is a lie about life, whereas if life is reflecting art, then life is a lie about art. To exemplify this concept, it is easiest to consider a mirror. If I was to stand in front of a mirror, I know I am real thanks to sense perception. However, the image created by the mirror is fake, or a lie because it is constricted to the mirror, it cannot leave the mirror, and only contains two dimensions, unlike that of which it reflects. For this reason, art is a lie. The matter in which art brings us closer to the truth is that art forces us to consider our own lives through different scopes, often causing us to realize something different or new about ourselves.
The four characteristics of the creative process are: Shape and form, Line, Space,Color (Mayesky, M (2015) p.46-47) This artwork reflects on color because they used primary colors and secondary colors such as violet,orange and blue. The type of shape and form is organic free form and geometric because they used circles,squares and rectangles to created this picture. Space refers to the areas above,below,between,within and around an object. For example: The tree in photo 3-6 had height and width. Young children learn to created space by size and placement of shapes. Lines have a direction like horizontal and vertical in this pictures the houses have straight lines. (Mayesky, M (2015)
In development phrase, firstly project team need to research lots of information about how to create your 3D animation production. The research including what is overall style of animation, is it cartoony or realistic? Comparing with research data, project team need to ensure the suitable theme of animation, the number of characters and simple background environment.
The concept of art plays an important role in the development and learning of children. Art is a form of expression where individuals are able to express their own feelings, ideas, and creativity. By incorporating art integration with schools from grades K-12 students demonstrate a high academic performance and a happy, satisfying safe school environment where students are successfully open to learning and are not afraid to show their true self.

The following paper will discuss distinguished artist who are shaping the future of Indigenous art in Canada with the creative uses mediums. Trailblazing artists includes KCs Adams cybors photography which explores the hybridzation of humans and technology , Barry Ace's Trinity collection which features the fusion of traditional beading with electronic components and Andy Everson who explores digital media with Northwest Coast techniques.
In the creative process, the fullness is the starting place out of which everything emerges. In film production the physical fullness is the script. The script outlines events which are going to occur throughout the film, all of the scene changes, plot twists, and even what the ideal weather conditions should be for a particular shot. The mental fullness of film production is the first idea for the piece. The entire movie and all of it’s components eventually come out of the initial idea. Without the script a film would lack order and without an initial
Art has been with humans from the beginning of time, art was a way people used to communicate in the past and it has evolved throughout time. Graphic design is known as communication design that art practice of planning, projecting ideas and experiences
