My Photography Game
A visual challenge in the shape of a quartet game
One of the 21st century skills on literacy directs to the mediated surrounding. Practicing to understand how images are made, what they mean, or how they create emotions and generate impact is crucial. My Photography Game helps to unravel the visual elements in photographs, paintings and illustrations
Adults and children practicing to understand how images are constructed and how they transmit ideas is a crucial fun activity. My Photography Game is a family card game for identifying how photographs, paintings and illustrations are made.
The cards are divided into separate categories by color. By taking one of each color and using them to create a photograph, the player is acknowledging the function of visual rules and how they create meaning and emotion.
My Photogaphy Game is available at BIS publishers, Bol (NL), Barnes & Noble (USA), Laurence King (UK), in museum shops like MACBA (Barcelona), and in concept stores.
Look carefully at the images and ask yourself what you see: the types of lines, positions, groups, colors… What do you think the painter/ artist wanted to show or express? How does this image make you feel?
Ages: 7 to 99 | 1 to 6 players.
How to play: Hand a theme pink card to each player. Place the image cards one by one on the table. The players have to recognize if the image belongs to their card. After collecting a quartet, all players stop, check if the quartet is correct, and the player gets a new pink card or goes on. The winner is the player with more quartets. Afterwards, all players choose a favorite theme and take a photograph adding it up.
