Over the course of 15 weeks, the student worked on their final major project, creating concept art pieces in charcoal and digital formats. They began with research and test drawings, created pieces based on existing works, then moved to original character and environment designs. The student completed 4 final concept art pieces set in rural and urban environments, and finished with an evaluation and blog finalization in the last week.
