Professor's Virtual Collection

The Professor's Virtual Collection is the one the activities in the First Floor in JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain. It is designed to teach about art, as well as language arts.

Description
The Virtual Collection is found in the Mountain's Art Gallery &, as the name suggests, it is a virtual museum of various famous works of art. The categories are Portraits, Selt Portraits, Tell Stories, Record History, Everyday Life, Landscape, Still Life, Art as Decoration, Symbolic Art, & Religious Art. In this activity, Polly gives a clue pointing to a particular work of art (e.g. "Quick, Snotley! Which U.S. state is famous for its peaches?" (a reference to the photograph Georgia O'Keefe)), which the user must then find and bring up onto the digital display. Once the correct work is found, the user will have to play another activity where several boxes must be rearranged so that all their sides match. For this game, the user will have to use art, synonyms, antonyms, homonyms or mathematical problems to match the sides.
