About This Lesson
Teach the elements of art in a game show format that celebrates two national treasures—the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Use this game to teach foundational art vocabulary through friendly competition, turning learning into a lively, interactive experience. By making vocabulary practice active, fun, and social, the game boosts motivation, strengthens retention, and empowers learners to confidently apply art terms in real life.
The National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum preserve, showcase, and celebrate the cultural and artistic heritage of the United States. Partially funded by taxpayers, both museums provide public access to masterpieces that educate, inspire, and foster a deeper understanding of American life and values. By safeguarding these artworks and making them available to people nationwide, these museums play a crucial role in preserving national memory and promoting cultural enrichment. This game will introduce you to their collection and link you to their online galleries.
