Work-in-progress—Enhancing Art Appreciation Through Immersive Recreation Games

Abstract

In the study of art, where works often reside in museums or are experienced on screens in classrooms, artistic creation can seem distant and abstract. Although exposing learners to art making by asking them to create art themselves can be a way to facilitate understanding, it can require expensive materials, equipment, and space. Drawing, painting, and sculpture also have steep learning curves. Sloppy Forgeries and Choppy Forgeries VR are two work-in-progress games that attempt to overcome some of these obstacles by exposing players to art making in a fun, lighthearted context with an emphasis on careful observation and coordination.
