Players are put in the role of museum curator and visitor as they guess artwork based on humorous descriptions. By building descriptions using an unintelligible vocabulary, players experience firsthand the challenges of writing and learning about art using inaccessible terms.
Each player picks a real historical painting from the Card Deck. Next, they combine random syllables to form nonsensical words. They use these words to fill out a Curator Card. In each round, a player must use nonsensical words to describe the technique, mood, and subject of the painting. The other players will then guess which piece is being described.
Hilarity ensues as each “nonsense” word begins to gain real meaning, and players must collaboratively complete an exhibition description using the new terms. The game also includes the real name and description of each piece, encouraging excitement curiosity and excitement around art education.
