A. Pintura: Art Detective
What is It? A. Pintura: Art Detective is an online game
about art history and art composition. In the game, you play
a 1940's noir detective with a degree in art history. A distraught
woman asks you to identify the artist who made a painting
she found in her grandfather's attic. To do so, you must examine
paintings by famous artists from Gauguin to Van Gogh. Each
example highlights an art concept such as composition, style
or subject. The story concludes with an appropriate noirish
twist, as the woman's true identity and motives become apparent.
Who Can Play? A. Pintura: Art Detective is designed for 4th-graders
and up. Students can play the game independently or in small
groups. You can assign (and modify, as you like) the A. Pintura
study worksheet for assessment and accountability. The worksheet
requires students to play the game thoroughly and explore
each artist (even if they figured out the correct answer early
on). Some teachers have also used this activity with their
entire class by projecting the computer screen on the wall.
Use the teacher key for guidance in correcting.
