Sharpen your Skills of Observation
My personal favorite is the Detail Detective where the player finds details that are different in similar pictures. There is an hour-glass to time the process. The activity feels a bit like a Brain Gymnasium, but this is in a positive sense....
There are 12 jigsaw puzzles offered. The player can select the level of complexity by choosing the number of pieces.

From the British Museum we have Little or Large and from the Metropolitan Museum there is Romare Bearden helping you to look at a collage.

How much government do you want
Should Art Education be sponsored with public money in the public schools and via PBS television?
Or
Should Art Education be left to foundations and to individuals and families who pursue the knowledge independently?
Who is Responsible for Developing Art skills and Art appreciation
Public Funding
Mark Gascoigne says:
Art Education is not a frill. Art is an essentail means of human expression. To not teach some level of it at the public's expense is like not teaching reading and writing.
