Welcome to Artist Alley!
Empire holds a termly creative challenge in the vibrant corridor that is our Artist Alley.
Participants are given a prompt and invited to express themselves. It could be a drawing, poem, or some new mystery!
Notable entries may have their efforts recognised with art supplies or a game of their choice.

Champion
This term we created personal Champions that display a unique ability or item.
Come explore the mages, rogues, rangers and so much more!
Dragon’s Lair
What kind of dragon speaks to your heart?
Students created dynamic dragons, showing off their powers in their lair.
They also wrote an accompanying page describing their Dragon’s personality, powers, weaknesses, lair, and treasure.
A New Perspective:
Empire Logo
Seeing with fresh eyes, children interpreted Empire’s E and brought their imaginations to life.
Watch our logo transform into all different visions!
Colour Poem
What colour do you like to play as?
Empire attendees created “Colour Poems” engaging the senses to celebrate their favourite playing colour.
Haiku
Students were invited to create a haiku poem to honour their favourite game.
The format of 5 - 7 - 5 syllables was used. Which ones speak to you?
My Fantasy Kingdom
Attendees were invited to create a fantasy kingdom, colour it in, and include a creature from their realm. Then, colours for the flag and a compelling name. Can you see all these elements coming to life?
Redesigned Game Box
How would you reimagine cover art? Game boxes that students love were redesigned to feature iconic elements from the game. Students had to ensure they noted the player count, recommended age, and length of playtime. A bold, legible title and attractive colours is a must.
A Curious Creature
A cavalcade of colourful creatures was uncovered in this term’s Artist Alley. The invitation was to create a fantasy creature, which could be a combination of different animals. A background environment would show its home and, of course, it needs a name!
A Surprising Spell
What if you had a new magic power? Students scribed their own spell scrolls, complete with method, ingredients, and effect.
A Game Poster
Which ones catch your eye? Children created a poster to promote a game that they loved from Empire. A bold title and engaging colours is very captivating.
My Family Crest
Show me your famous family crest. What symbols, designs and colours does it have? There were special words, or a phrase too, right? Have a look at these brilliant crests.
