Track Down Famous Artworks
Hangout Quest is a Google+ game that allows students to go on a virtual scavenger hunt inside the Palace of Versailles. The object of the scavenger hunt is to find artwork and other objects in the palace. If they invite others to their Hangout, students can compete against them in a race to find the objects first. Hangout Quest uses the Street View imagery of Google Maps to bring students inside the Palace of Versailles. Facial tracking technology allows students to move around the Palace of Versailles by just moving their head instead of clicking around with their mouse. Visit the website to see the Hangout Quest in action.
ALICE IN WONDERLAND ART AND SCIENCE
Wondermind is about the mind-boggling stuff going on inside students’ brains as they grow. It’s also about the art of Alice in Wonderland, the exhibition at Tate Liverpool. And it’s about putting together both of those things: mixing art with science. On this website, students can follow Alice down the rabbit hole into the wonderland of their brain.
