Chinese Farmers' Paintings: Cultural Awareness through Interactive Media
The project investigates Chinese farmers’ paintings by creating an interactive game for children. The game explores common themes in these paintings: vibrant colors, simple shapes, and the importance of community. The interactive game employs influences, materials, and appreciation of Chinese culture.
Initially created as part of a independent study, it went on to collaborate with ChinaVine, a website dedicated to educating English-speaking children, youth, and adults about China's cultural heritage. The game was developed in Flash within three months. It was then entered in the Showcase of Undergraduate Research Excellence at the University of Central Florida.
