Overview

This 3-staged memory game invites you to observe masterpieces closely. Historically, a masterpiece was a work of a very high standard, produced in order to obtain membership of a guild or academy. Since the author never went to art school, her untrained eye wondered: How should I look at art in order to fully appreciate it? Trying to answer this question, she decided to design a system of observation based on different steps: games and activities following a set scheme that triggers the player to look at a masterpiece on a different scale. Pixel-Art Game allows you to observe masterpieces closely. Match the original image with its pixelized copies by zooming into Vermeer's famous The Milkmaid . The painter's color and light use is emphasized through the pixels of the digitalized image, taking art into our contemporary digital language. With a light packaging, perfect to take along with you, Pixel-Art Game offers several games in one set. Each of these 3 games is a step to understand the artwork better, playing together with multiple players. Besides the three games, the set allows you to create your own masterpiece.
