World of Art

This assignment was simply to invent a world, so I decided to combine three of my favorite things: art, learning, and video games. I imagined a game where each part of the world introduces you to a new way of making, turning the process of learning art into an adventure. I was inspired by some of my favorite childhood games, like Kirby’s Epic Yarn, Webkinz, and LeapFrog games, and wanted to capture that same sense of curiosity and play.

 

I named the concept World of Art and started by sketching ideas for the world and its map, then developed the characters and environments for each area. Each land has its own materials, rules, characters, and way of making. Once the world was built, I illustrated a series of main concept images to show what the game could look and feel like.
