Online Music Games Lego Fusion Is Digital Joy and Real-World Fun [REVIEW] It isn’t easy being mayor of a small, but growing town. People always want something or are hurting themselves in random accidents. You have to build, build, build and constantly remind the townspeople that there’s good stuff all around. Yet, in the end, nurturing your own miniature community is a joy. These are the lessons of the highly-entertaining Lego Fusion: Town Master set, which I’ve been playing with for the past few days. Lego Fusion is Lego’s first foray into virtual reality and I’d say they’ve pretty much got the knack of it. Inside Town Master is the first of four sets Lego will eventually ship (three by late August). I started by launching the game, which asked me if I had the physical set. In Lego Fusion, you never build a complete structure, just a façade on a special Lego platform. With my first structure built, the Town Master app, guided me to scan it in. Throughout the game I built a half-dozen façades and learned that the Fusion app can be a bit finicky on the scan.

Theta Music How Video Games and Social Media Fuel Students’ Passion for Art The average teenager consumes about 10 hours of media per day according to a Kaiser Family Foundation report, and that’s often through a gadget like smartphone or tablet. But depending on what we choose to focus on, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The same devices that are used to consume art have also allowed students to create on their own, often with little instruction or direction. This trend of interest-driven art creation comes at a time when public schools are cutting art programming, and it offers a promising new way to reach and mold budding artists. “A lot of times we think we need to have programs that cultivate learning in the art form, but what we are finding is that through the continued production of art, and reflection on it, the kids are actually improving their skills over time,” said Kylie Peppler, assistant professor of learning sciences at Indiana University. “For the very first time, kids enrolled in free violin lessons,” Peppler said. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Crickweb Every Exhibition Held at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) Presented in a New Web Site: 1929 to Present Images courtesy of MoMA We all hate it when we hear of an exciting exhibition, only to find out that it closed last week — or 80 years ago. New York’s Museum of Modern Art has made great strides toward taking the sting out of such narrowly or widely-missed cultural opportunities with their new digital exhibition archive. The archive offers, in the words of Chief of Archives Michelle Elligott, “free and unprecedented access to The Museum of Modern Art’s ever-evolving exhibition history” in the form of “thousands of unique and vital materials including installation photographs, out-of-print exhibition catalogues, and more, beginning with MoMA’s very first exhibition in 1929,” a show of post-Impressionist paintings by Cézanne, Gauguin, Seurat, and Van Gogh. The photograph of Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe portraits at the top of the post comes from a much more recent exhibition, 2015’s Andy Warhol: Campbell’s Soup Cans and Other Works, 1953–1967.
