The Kingdom and The Keys: Gamified Language Arts

The Path of The Artist

Your world is a world of shapes and edges, formless ideas and dreams given forms by your pens, your brushes, and your charcoal. 
You carve your ideas into the blank page as structures and you know the greats. You are an Artist and you know it to be true, because you know what great art is. 

These assignments follow The Path of The Artist.
