Guess Who: Artists

First Graders playing 'Guess Who' with Artists learning game insert

Guess Who Artists is a Learning Center that can be utilized in the classroom to get students to actively participate in learning Art History as well as effectively evaluating works of art.

Utilizing this game in the classroom has shown positive results. Many of the students are familiar with the Guess Who game already, which cuts down on the instructions and limits classroom interruptions.

Students engage in interviewing other students by asking questions about paintings to figure out which artist the other student has chosen. The students ask questions like "Does your painting have a person in it?" or "Is your artwork a painting?". The game gets more involved as we learn about different artists throughout our curriculum.
