UMSL Art & Design
In this four-week study abroad course, students explored Italy’s rich history, architecture, and landscapes as inspiration for creating original game art. Based in Florence, they sketched on-site, collected research, and translated their observations into concept art and pixel art. Through daily creative exercises, critique sessions, and workshops, they developed a portfolio of 8-bit game assets and designed a playable Bitsy game that reflects their unique interpretation of Italian culture and environment.
