This game will test your knowledge of Art terms. In many ways it resembles the classic game called HANGMAN. The difference, however, is that I've replaced the hanging body with Bernini's famous sculpture David (it's less gruesome).
I've chosen 590 words that are related to famous artists, art history, art materials, art theory and concepts, architecture and design. Your browser will select a word at random. You must then guess the letters in that word before your priceless statue crumbles to dust.
To begin, simply click a letter. If that letter is in the word, it will appear over a red blank. If it is not in the word, a part of your sculpture will crumble. My strategy is to choose some vowels first (except U and Y, unless there's already a Q on the screen or it seems like the word might end with a Y). I'll then choose the most common consonants, which are R, S, T and N. Even with this "flawless" strategy, I've lost more stautes than I care to admit.
GOOD LUCK!
P.S. I think I've chosen some very good art terms, words like "abecedarian" and "abbozzo", but if you have other words that I can add to my list, you're welcome to send them to me using my Contact Form.Home Games
The Sculptor's Mistake
I wish to acknowledge that I live, play, and work on Treaty 7 territory, which is the traditional homeland of the Niitstiapi (Siksika, Piikani, Kainai), the Îyârhe Nakoda, and the Tsuut’ina Nations. Under the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Constitution, the five territories of the Métis Nation within Alberta are subdivided into Districts to allow for more effective and localized representation. Calgary is home to the Métis Nation Battle River Territory, districts five and six. Treaty relations have not always been honoured and, as a guest of The Métis Nation of Alberta, I strive to restore good relations.
