Painting Gallery

The Painting Gallery is one of the activities on the First Floor in JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain. It is found in the Art Gallery. As with the Music Hall, this activity lacks difficulty levels.

Description
Polly reads a short story (typically about two sentences long) that she has written and asks for an illustration to be drawn. The user must then select the appropriate background and add the stamps and music or sound effects needed. There are eight empty frames to choose from in four columns and two rows. If the painting is right, it rewards with a Mission Clue or Invention Points.

Digital manual description
Create your own paintings to hang in the gallery! The Professor's got all the latest drawing tools, animated stickers, even glowing paint! Since Polly's in charge here, when you enter the Painting Gallery, she'll demand that you illustrate a story she's written. Please her lopsided sensibility, and she'll give you a Mission Clue or Invention Points.

Trivia

 * The graphics of the Painting Gallery looks similar to that of the 3-D Dinosaur Adventure Art-A-Saurus set, which was created by Knowledge Adventure, the same company that made the JumpStart games.
