DMA Instructor Chris Platz

Chris Platz is an artist and educator in the fields of traditional fine art and digital 2D/3D arts. Currently he teaches at the Art Institute of San Francisco in the Game Art and Design Dept, the Academy of Art Interior Architecture Dept, and Game Creation courses at the Digital Media Academy. Chris’ industry projects include video game interface designs for Vampire the Masquerade, RuneQuest, and other titles.

Now going on his fourth summer with DMA, Chris teaches how to utilize the latest digital tools for creating memorable games, environments and characters. Chris is continually amazed at how fast the younger generation of gamers can learn tools that took him years to grasp.

“DMA’s summer program is a real treat for me.  I’m fortunate to teach bright and eager minds from all over the globe each year. In one week, DMA students absorb the equivalent of a full semester of college level game art and design. It’s truly amazing.”

Away from the computer Chris enjoys painting murals, sculpting clay, and family time in the Bay Area with his wife and daughter.
