Abstract
-
In this project, I will be looking into the connection between videogames and creativity, more specifically video games from Nintendo and how their games can have an impact on players’ creativity. Multiple Nintendo franchises such as the Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing bring their own unique ideas to the table that can encourage players to expand their own creative scoop. An important part of my thesis will be making my own creative art projects that will take inspiration from Nintendo games I have played. This will allow me to prove the idea that Nintendo can be influential on creativity. This project will include examination of three different Nintendo Switch games as well as articles that are linked to the idea that video games and creativity are connected. My goal is to show how Nintendo videogames are a great source of inspiration and do my own creative projects inspired by Nintendo games to further prove that. I believe this project will aid in my life goal to be a creative individual and perhaps inspire others to take inspiration from one of their favorite pastimes.
