How to Draw Minecraft Creeper Art Lesson
If you’d like to connect students’ interests in popular video games to their art class, then you couldn’t do much better than having them learn how to draw a Minecraft Creeper. Aside from being one of the most popular games of all times, Minecraft has a brand new movie out now too.
Another bonus is that the Minecraft video game is based on a pixel system, so the project comes with some natural lessons about shapes and forms and symmetry. The Creeper’s body starts as flat Shapes, but when sides are added, it gets Form, which could include shadows when colored with Value too. So not only are there lessons in geometry, many Elements of Art are covered too!
The Influence of Video Games in Modern Art
Video games like Minecraft have over the years become a large part of our visual culture. The blocky, pixelated style is very familiar to young ones, and very recognizable. Today you can find Minecraft characters on lunchboxes, notebooks, clothing, and just about anything having to do with children.
In addition to the visual style, video game art also explores themes like creativity, imagination, and world-building. Players can choose to explore the environment, gather resources, build structures of their own design, and even interact with other players online.
Artists often draw inspiration from video games, incorporating their styles and themes into other forms of art. And with its somewhat primitive look, the Creeper, as an iconic character, symbolizes the merging of these digital and traditional techniques.
