Art Stories FACES

Let’s observe, listen and play! If you make it wrong, don’t worry, try again until you become a real art explorer!

Here it is the first room of Art Stories virtual museum: a playing gym where kids can learn to observe colors, shapes and details.

Kids discover 5 portraits, painted by 5 famous artists; by playing, they acquire skills they can use inside museums, when visiting an art exposition, or when studying art at school.

Each painting sets a simple task, and each task is aimed at a different aspect of observation:

- details and overall design: watch and concentrate on a funny use of fruits and vegetables by Giuseppe Arcimboldo;

- volumes and shapes: by playing with Alice by Modigliani, children understand how to look at forms;

- hidden images: by composing a puzzle, kids discover the Man with clarinet by Pablo Picasso;

- colors and paintstrokes: have a look at Vincent Van Gogh's Self-portrait and choose the right colors. Never mind picking the wrong ones: you'll get a good laugh!

- stories behind details: choose the right elements in The girl with the pearl earring by Vermeer... you will discover the narratives behind the painting!

Having succeeds in all 5 games, kids will get a set of virtual tools and they will be encouraged to get out of their house and visit museums in the real world.
