Fine Art Puzzles

Checkout these fun puzzles from JigZone.com

Click on the puzzle you would like to complete, the website will track your progress (& give you some fun facts about these famous paintings!), see if you can beat the average times & then challenge yourself to complete the puzzle again by changing the cut/number of pieces!

Color Matching Games

For my younger friends, start with Shapes & Colors BINGO from ABCya.com

For something more challenging checkout Color from Method of Action & if you're interested, visit TryColors.com for a color mixing game using HEX codes!

Drawing Games & Machine Learning

Try AutoDraw - a collaboration between machine learning and the artist community. The technology can currently GUESS hundreds of drawings and more will be added over time.

How it works:

start doodling & the suggestion tool will start guessing
draw solo with the draw tool
choose colors with the color picker
add text with the type tool
make shapes with the shape tool
add color with the fill tool
move, resize, and rotate objects with the select tool
download a PNG or share your work from any device!

Next, checkout QuickDraw! This is a game built with machine learning. You draw, and the neural network tries to guess what you're drawing! It doesnt always work, but the more you play, the more it learns! So far it's been trained on a few hundred concepts and developers hope to add more over time. Checkout the video, below, and see for yourself how machine learning can be used for FUN! For more A.I. experiments, click HERE!
