Memory Game

Created on March 04, 2013 by lhARTz

This is a memory matching game with variety of famous artists and their paintings. I chose paintings that may not have been the artists' most well known so they learn new ones. I bought scrapbook paper that had our school name on one side and blank on the other. Printed off two copies, laminated them, then use old crayon boxes to keep them.

THE PLAN
1 session; 20 minutes per session
Students love to play games. Even though they aren't creating art by playing a matching game, it's exposing them to famous works of art by famous artists. To the older students, I tell them to read and recite what is written on each piece before turing over another. Eventually, these works of art will remain in their long term memory.
THE FEATURES
Giotto di Bondone, Salvador Dali, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Edward Hopper, Frida Kahlo, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Frank Stella, Leonardo da Vinci, Andy Warhol, Grant Wood

    It would be nice to see the title and artist on one card and the image on another. Then they would be remembering the image associated with the artist. You could have a cheat sheet up for the game time just in case it was needed. Great idea!

    Oh I like that! I might have to do that with another set I'm making! Thanks!

    There is another activity on this site called Art Madness. In the lesson it says that students research an artist and present their artist to the class with an image of that artist's work. The artists face off against each other like college basketball with students voting for which artist they like better in each pair off. I would combine this lesson with that lesson. Let the students research and make two cards on provided paper one to share with the class and to be used in the art madness and one to turn in for a grade. Then when art madness is done keep the cards for a classroom memory game. Less work for teacher, a larger set to play with and fun review of what they learned.
