Games: Fine arts in Game development
How do we use ‘fine arts’ in the field of computer games?
First: Knowledge – knowledge that Fine Arts bring (perspective, color, composition, light) is incredibly useful in creating graphics and levels for video games.
Second: Inspiration – Fine Arts are an endless source of artistic and conceptual inspiration for video games.
And the last: Technique – traditional technique (drawing, painting) can be combined with video games – transferring a traditional work of art into a computer environment.
The last question – are games art? The answer: they are becoming art. Video games are another genre of Visual Arts. It’s a new style of visual storytelling.
