Plan for my essay



  • Title of the essay. This will be a question relating to the topic you are writing about.
  • Something along the lines of: ‘How has Art progressed using the medium of video games and were will this lead in the future?’
  • Introduction. Mention vaguely what you will be writing about in your essay as just a warm up to the main piece so don’t go into too much detail.
  • First Paragraph. This will be a talking about the progression of art in the past specifically via the use of print media and the arts and craft movement.
  • This will vaguely focus on subject of how the public are able to view pieces of artwork without having to go see them in person but mostly just about the evolution of the art itself.
  • Focus on William Morris for this paragraph and how he used his artwork as wallpaper to bring colour to people’s homes after the industrial revolution and how this was the beginnings of art and technology becoming one.
  • Second Paragraph. This will lead on from my last paragraph and focus on William Morris’s art being used in a game which is ‘The Strawberry Thief’ by Sophia George.
  • Write briefly about how this is a progression of his art work using digital media and how the player is allowed to be creative. 
  • Make sure that you mention that ALL games are pieces of art and are now becoming immersive via the form of 3D technology and devices such as the oculus rift.
  • Talk about the ‘My neighbour Totoro’ oculus rift game allowing the player to be inside a world that was originally 2D animated.
  • Third paragraph. This will briefly be mentioning the use of player immersion and creativity via the use of user generated content. Look at the game ‘Tearaway’.
  • Focus how in some games player can actually create their own elements to the art of the game via mods.
