The Picasso Portraits Pop Game

* Please note: this game currently works best on desktop computers. We're working to make it fit on mobile devices too, but figured we'd let you play it in this format while we're working on it!

You have a board filled with Picasso faces from his paintings. You'll be set up with a single Picasso face at the bottom which can match up with some in the group above. Click or tap on the screen where you want to direct this single Picasso face to go, ideally to match up with other similar faces. The goal is to clear the board and advance.

Put your mouse over one of the artist's face to see how many are connected; click to eliminate those faces and to slide the rest into their new position. The more faces you erase per click gives you a higher score. See if you can clear the board!

Note about mobile devices: game performs best on a computer; if playing on a mobile device, the "mouse over" effect won't work, but you can still see grouped faces and tap on them to remove them from the board and play the game.

Keith Haring (1958-1990) was a graffiti and "Neo-Pop" artist who made his mark on the New York art world in the early 1980's. Born in Pennsylvania, Haring attended the Ivy School of Art in Pittsburgh for two years, planning to become a commercial artist, but then moved to NYC, where he began studying at the School of Visual Arts. At SVA, he met fellow artists Jean-Michel Basquiat and Kenny Scharf, who would also have a large impact on the art scene at the time.

Around 1980, Haring began drawing with chalk on the blank billboards in subway stations. His bold public art attracted the attention of top galleries, and by the early 1980s he was painting Neo-Pop works and large murals for children. In an effort to make his art widely accessible, Haring opened the "Pop Shop" in 1986 in downtown New York, selling commercial items adorned with his art. Haring died on February 16, 1990, of AIDS-related complications.

Below you can see Keith Haring in his "Pop Shop." Haring considered the shop to be an extension of his art work and painted the entire interior of the store in an abstract black on white mural, creating an usual and unique retail environment.

Vincent Van Gogh's Jobs

Vincent Van Gogh, who lived from 1853-1890, is one of the most famous artists in the world. He is known for his paintings of sunflowers, his intense self-portraits, and the irony that he was unsuccessful during his life but his paintings now sell for millions of dollars.

Van Gogh wasn't always an artist; he held a number of jobs before he decided to focus his attention on art. Scroll down for a fun quiz about his various occupations.

Share this page via:

You'll be prompted with one question at a time about Van Gogh's work life ... select your answer and click the "next" button to advance, and then get your score at the end. We'll give you a hint: of the 8 work scenarios we suggest, Van Gogh worked in 4 of them. But don't be influenced by the pictures below, as we just illustrated some of the hypothetical occupations that Van Gogh may or may not have had.

Dog Art Tic Tac Toe: Balloon Dog vs. Poker Dog

We've got a twist on the classic game of Tic Tac Toe, in this version you play as C.M. Coolidge's "Poker Dog" going up against Jeff Koons' "Balloon Dog" (scroll down for more info on each of these art works). Click on a square to start the game, and place 3-in-a-row to win!

Share this page via:

Here are the two original art works (below) that are the sources for the players in this art game of Dog Art Tic Tac Toe. Below left is "Balloon Dog (Blue)," 1994, by Jeff Koons. This large-scale sculpture is mirror-polished stainless steel with a transparent color coating. Below right is "A Friend In Need," 1903, by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge. It depicts seven dogs sitting around a table playing poker late at night. The title comes from the fact that the bulldog is handing an ace under the table to his friend. With that additional ace, the dog with his back to the viewer will have four aces and will have a hand of "Four of a Kind."

Discover the world of art in a fun and easy way. Explore and learn about some of the most famous works from the Gallery's collection, make your own art, and share it with friends. The NGAkids Art Zone app for iPad lets you explore your inner artist.

Description

The NGAkids Art Zone app has eight interactive activities inspired by works in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, plus a sketchbook for freehand drawing and a personal exhibition space where users can save and display art created with the program. The child-friendly interface, easy-to-use tools, and the overarching emphasis on discovery, careful looking, and artistic self-expression make the NGAkids app educational and fun for the whole family.

NGAkids activities are designed for children to use-unassisted-in a recreational, nonacademic context. They are not art lessons, although our programs are extremely popular in schools and are often used as an adjunct to the traditional curriculum. The low-key activities preserve a sense of quiet exploration that encourages artistic expression and creativity. This absorbing, self-directed interaction has a long-term impact. The fact that children are encouraged to figure out how things work and to mentor each other adds a unique dimension to the experience, one that sparks a personal connection to art that often lasts a lifetime.

If you share artistic creations made with our app on social media, please be sure to include the hashtag #ngakids. We look forward to seeing what you make!

Don't have an iPad? Email [email protected] for the PC version of these interactives.

Special Features

The NGAkids app provides an immersive experience as children visit a virtual art museum and explore a variety of works spanning more than 300 years of art history. High-resolution graphics, careful attention to detail, and exposure to a variety of subjects, painting styles, and techniques help convey an authentic understanding of the artistic process and reinforce their familiarity with the fundamental elements of art. Although not games in the traditional sense, unexpected animation and audio features enliven the programs and help make learning fun.

There are 10 sections to explore:

* Portrait
* Landscape
* Seascape
* Still Life
* Action Painting
* Exploring Color
* Color Field
* Collage
* Sketchbook
* My Art Gallery

Works of art by a wide range of artists-including Edward Hicks, Fitz Henry Lane, Berthe Morisot, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Mark Rothko, Josef Albers, and Robert Rauschenberg, along with several anonymous American naive painters-serve as inspirational models.

The National Gallery of Art is committed to producing quality children's programming that provides informative, entertaining, and age-appropriate content for kids of all ages. We hope you and your children enjoy the NGAkids app, and we invite you to plan an in-person visit to the Gallery, where many of the original works of art that inspired this program are on display.

NGAkids is supported in part by a generous grant from the Ruth S. Willoughby Foundation. Apple, the Apple logo, and iPad are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries. App Store is a service mark of Apple Inc.

Coloring Books Have A History
"Since When?"

Since the Year 1880. The first coloring books were published in the United States by brother artists John and Edward McLoughlin.

Coloring books pages have black line drawings. The most popular coloring tool is crayons, followed by colored pencils, paint, and markers.

Paint was used on the images before crayon wax become popular in the 1930's.

Color inside the lines or outside the lines? There is no right or wrong way. Decorating inside the lines promote purpose: attention to details, understanding of familiar objects, order, and the discipline of self-control.

Outside the lines coloring is simply a child making magic.

Surprisingly, the magic has gone beyond childhood fun to academic, medical, and psychological uses.

Coloring activities are restful, stress free, stimulates memory and individual creativity.

Many successful fine artists, commercial artists, and street graffiti artists enjoyed coloring books when they were kids...

So, coloring books along with roller skates, marbles, and paper dolls are a pleasant enrichment of any child's life.

DIY paint that puffs up in the microwave? Sounds like a surefire hit to me! I saw this idea on Mommy Labs awhile ago and filed away for a rainy day. Today just happened to be the perfect combination of rain and bored kiddos, so I whipped up a batch - quick, easy, and SUPER fun!

We started with one cup of flour and mixed in 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and enough water to make it the consistency of pancake batter. We divided our mix into four parts and put them into snack size Ziploc baggies along with some food coloring. Part of the fun was squishing it all around to mix up the colors!

Rubber band the baggies like you would if you were icing a cake and snip off the teeniest little bit of the tip.

Paint away! When you're finished, pop the painting into the microwave for 30-45 seconds and watch the paint puff up and grow - such fun! I loved that it was completely dry out of the microwave so we didn't have to worry about any extra messes or accidents as our pile of paintings grew.

We made about ten paintings this morning, and we still have plenty of paint leftover so that Sawyer can have a chance to try it when he gets home from school too. Nothing beats cheap entertainment, especially with some fine motor skills practice and a built-in kitchen science lesson!

The boys and I were looking for something new and fun to do on a particularly windy and overcast morning this past week. I was finishing up the breakfast dishes and remembered that bubble painting with dish soap was on our project to-do list, and I figured it would be the perfect day for it.

The first thing I did (beside gathering up my eager project testers and covering them up in painting aprons) was to cover my countertop - we like to use shower curtains from the dollar store because they clean up nicely, they are reusable, and they are a bit thicker than your typical plastic tablecloth. I also put a couple of paper towels underneath each kiddo, because this project has some seriously messy potential!

Supplies needed: Dish soap, paint (we used washable tempera paint), cups, straws and paper. We used white construction paper, but watercolor paper would be especially good if you have some handy.
