Formal Frames: Game Design for Art Education on Formal Analysis in Museum Context
Feb 2024 - ongoing
To introduce formal analysis in museum education and experience, Xuan Gou developed a simple but very interesting and effective game, Formal Frames.
The game architecture is based on the classic game “Guess Who?”, but now questions can only concern formal elements of paintings, as opposed to content/semantic elements. Indeed, that may be challenging for art novices, that is why Xuan designed various difficulty levels where beginners are given concrete questions to ask. In contrast to Guess Who, Formal Frames is actually equally demanding for the questioner as for the person answering!
