Serão apresentados conceitos fundamentais às discussões dos videogames vistos como expressões culturais e artísticas. Através de videoaulas explanativas, leituras recomendadas, entrevistas com especialistas, exercícios reflexivos e discussões em grupo, serão transmitidos conhecimentos com o intuito de iniciar os interessados no tema ou mesmo enriquecer o repertório daqueles que já atuam na área.
Embora este curso seja fundamentalmente teórico, pretendemos criar uma ponte entre as esferas acadêmica e mercadológica. Para isso, incentivamos a aplicação pragmática através da proposição de uma avaliação por pares. Os alunos serão levados a rascunhar o projeto de um videogame e compartilhá-lo com os colegas, tendo a chance de refletir sobre o feedback recebido.
O objetivo principal deste oferecimento é propiciar embasamento adequado aos estudantes interessados em explorar as relações entre videogames e arte.
