Unleash Your Inner Picasso with ‘Art Academy’ Game

Posted on January 10, 2013

Nintendo’s 3DS can be more than a video gaming console — it can also help players develop their artistic souls.

With “Art Academy: Lessons for Everyone!,” boxed or as a downloadable game on the Nintendo 3DS, kids and adults learn how to draw everything from a cherry to a barley field to the Tower of London. The game delivers two art courses, one as an introductory course and the other as an advanced one. In each course, players get art lessons from virtual tutor Vince.

In the beginning course, Vince introduces the art tools available and demonstrates how to use them in a step-by-step manner. He explains basic principles of drawing and painting, including perspective, the effect of light on a subject and how to make a dynamic composition. Vince can also get into topics of art theory and history. The paint colors are premixed for you, so you can focus on learning to draw. Players start with a cherry, then a tulip, a tree and a melon. Next they graduate into a windmill, a barley field, Koi carp in a pond, a torso and a seascape.

Everyone Loves MTM!

As a volunteer for my son’s school, Peace with Christ Christian School, in Aurora, Colorado, I recommended the Meet the Masters program to the art teacher and to the principal. One track was purchased the next year and another track was purchased the subsequent year. Volunteers moved between classrooms presenting artists to children who were excited and enthusiastic about learning the Masters of art.  The curriculum presented the artist biography, broke down art techniques into manageable pieces, and enhanced the students artistic skills.

Wishing you many years of continued success in bringing art and Meet the Masters to children, of all ages.
