New Online Course: Art of Game Design  Funded by a grant from the Wells Fargo Foundation, the NCMA and N.C. Virtual Public Schools have collaborated to create a new distance-learning course, The Art of Game Design, which will be piloted this fall. This multimedia course teaches the basic elements and thought processes of designing games, both digital (video games) and nondigital (board games, card games, etc.). Topics such as purpose, character and story development, and structure will be explored using works of art from the Museum as catalysts for learning. Students can also enroll in the first course in the collaboration, Videography with a Renaissance Twist. For more information see your school guidance counselor or visit NCVPS.
