    Students in a Concept Art for Video Games class take photos of insects that are part of the Illinois Natural History Survey’s insect collection. The class is searching for design inspiration for creatures that might inhabit a swampy alien planet. They are working on a collaborative project to design the visual aspects of a video game through a class offered through the Illinois Informatics program.
