Learn to create a challenging game using
Microsoft’s educational gaming software KODU.
While implementing the five, time-tested game
design principles, students become the designer
going through the design process as if they were
working for a client.
Journey with us as we incorporate the great outdoors
into visual art creations! We will discover the form of a
bird. Looking at the Amate Mexican art form of bark
painting, we will create a floral and animal multi-media
artwork. Next, we will develop a batik style wax art,
and infuse nature into drawings inspired by Georgia
O’Keeffe. Learn how to draw and paint a detailed bird
in an Audubon-inspired, watercolor painting. We will
also create a beautiful sculpture inspired by Klimt,
explore oil pastels and charcoal, and more this session!
Join us this spring as the earth inspires our nature filled
creations! And, as always, Dress for Mess!
This time the client wants a strategic puzzle game!
Students will work in pairs to create a puzzle type
game in which they can collaborate and strategize
with their friends, as developers do in real-world
environments. Through creating this genre of
game, students will be introduced to programming
and logic skills by creating mazes, puzzles, traps,
and riddles. They will also work with switches and
keys, while building an interesting story around
their puzzles. Future game designers who have
taken the class before will find fun and exciting
new challenges, and beginners need no previous
experience.
