GAME DESIGN
The giant board game is being designed on a large format: paper to begin with, then will be painted by hand onto a 12 foot square of primed canvas, clear-coated to protevt the artwork against little feet at play. Any club, school group or family group may reserve the game to play when the meeting room is available at Memorial Nottingham Library starting in the late Fall 2016.
The children's characters will inspire draw cards with funny actions to promote thoughtful balanced food choices, and entertaining game play. The playng field will have traps and free spaces designed into the painting, including humorous details for engagement. The target audience will be ages 6 to 12.
In Fall 2016, I'll consult local fashion designer, Dru Christine, to co-design and sew vests for children to become game pieces for both libraries.
In late Fall, a smaller version of the game will be created on vinyl for play, estimated 8 foot square, due to limited floor space, at the Collinwood Branch Library and a tabletop version will be created for the Grovewood Salvation Army.
