Ever wonder what it takes to create a video game? Do you think digital animation is cool? Don’t miss The Arts Council’s next exhibit opening Friday, Jan. 9, 2015.
Process is a display of the work of students and faculty of the Wayne Community College Information Systems Technology Department. The exhibit will include examples of 3D Modeling, 2D Game Art, 2D concept Art, Video Game Level Design, and Digital Sculpting.
3D modeling is when artists create objects on a computer that can be viewed from different angles in 3D space. Popular movies such as Shrek, Planes and even movie special effects like those seen in Iron Man are created using 3D modeling techniques.
2D Game Art is artwork created in programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, with the purpose of being animated and inserted into video games.
Concept Art is the artwork created before a character or scene in a video game is finalized. Usually a concept artist creates multiple versions of a character before the final artwork is approved.
Video Game Level Design is when artists create the actual game level that players navigate through. These levels can be completely 3D or they can be 2D.
Digital Sculpting is when an artist uses a 3D modeling program to digitally sculpt an object much like an artist working with clay would do.
On Feb. 6, during the Arts Council’s First Friday, Simulation and Game Development (S&GD) students will demonstrate how 3D sculpting is done and participants can try the techniques out for themselves. Games created by S&GD students will be available to be played and video interviews with students discussing game projects will be shown. Also bring your camera as some of the S&GD students will be dressed like their favorite game characters.
It can be viewed in the Arts Council of Wayne County’s Main Gallery, 102 N John Street, Goldsboro, NC 27530.
For more information about the Process exhibit call 919-736-3300 or go to ArtsInWayne.org.

Her literary leadership includes serving as president of the N.C. Poetry Society and the N.C. Writers Network, and chairman of the N.C. Writers Conference.
She is a published author of three poetry books as well as fiction and non-fiction works.
“’Show, don’t tell’ is our motto,” Ms. Baddour said. “Students will learn to be specific and to employ comparisons in their writing. We will use the five senses and action verbs to bring their writing to life. Constructive criticism is the discussion style, and those who already have finished drafts may adapt class exercises to their work. We’ll have writing exercises and guided meditations in class as well as home writing assignments.”
Ms. Baddour also plans to introduce students to writing opportunities and contacts in North Carolina, including the N.C. Writers Network, the N.C. Poetry Society, and numerous writers groups. Whenever possible, the class will attend area readings and workshops.
