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 an artist and educator for over 40 years, I have always prided myself on doing what is right for students. Having the resources that not only teach skills, but the standards and the art history connected to those skills is monumental. 

Meet the Masters gives teachers and the students the language to articulate what the work is and what it means. MTM provides the curriculum and the tools to take art education to a different level. In today’s world, art is a means to connect culture, education, and who we are as a people.

Who better to learn from, than the Masters?
