Minor in Concept Art

Our Mission: 

In the Concept Art minor students explore the intersections of Illustration, Animation, Game Design and Entertainment Design while developing technical skills in hand drawing and painting from observation, digital drawing and painting, and a range of AI techniques to design characters, props and environments.

Program Learning Outcomes:

Students enrolled in the Concept Art Minor will: 

• Articulate the relationship between their major and minor(s) and how these will help them achieve personal and professional goals. 
• Develop and apply interdisciplinary skills, experiences, and knowledge in fields outside of their majors.
• Develop an art/design practice that is grounded in two or more disciplines.

Concept Art Minor Required Courses: 15 credits of Concept Art courses

This can be 5 studio courses or 4 studio courses + 1 LAS course.

Students select courses based on guidance from the Director of Interdisciplinary Studies, Minor Area Heads and Academic Advisors and must follow prerequisites when applicable. For the full list of courses that will count for this minor, along with recommended courses to take first, see the Minors Course Lists on the Registration page of the Dashboard (my.otis.edu). Students are advised to take minor classes in place of studio electives (or in place of one LAS elective), or for majors without electives by taking one extra class in each of 5 semesters spread out between sophomore and senior year.

* Animation and Game Design majors must take ILUS212

**A limited choice of Studio and LAS courses will count as Concept Art Minor Electives, as determined each semester by the Interdisciplinary Studies Director, Animation Chair, Game and Entertainment Design Chair and Graphic Design/Illustration Chair. Students choose three electives that are not also requirements of their majors.
