The course consists of an overview of over fifty important topics to map out the trajectory of a Game Artist. It will be organized in the narrative Iceberg style, where the topics are organized by how well-known they are, and as the course unfolds, topics from increasingly deeper areas of Game Artists' knowledge will be covered. It serves as an organized study guide for the student to understand which areas they want to delve into, understanding some of the history and relevance of each topic. It also makes it possible to go through different educational visions, from the more specialized professionals of the big industry to the generalists of the independent games scene and the history of the Mod scene.
