Yi Nian Xiao Yao, a Chinese mobile game published by Leiting Games, recently announced a collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Arts to start a series of courses on traditional Chinese architecture and ink wash painting.
As a game with ancient Chinese mythology as its worldview, Yi Nian Xiao Yao features a large number of ancient Chinese buildings. With the popularity of the game, Yi Nian Xiao Yao has become a brand new way to spread the culture of traditional Chinese architecture. The theme of this collaboration is Chinese immortals and ancient architecture. Teachers from the Chinese Academy of Arts will guide players who are interested in games and architectural culture on how to develop their imagination and paint with the traditional ink wash painting technique. Works created during this course may be selected by the Yi Nian Xiao Yao art group and eventually become part of the game design.
This is the second time that the Chinese Academy of Art has started a collaboration with Yi Nian Xiao Yao. During their first collaboration, they systematically taught traditional Chinese ink wash painting techniques.
