The Curator

The Museum <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Musuem.jpg"> Our story begins one fine morning at the Cleveland Art Museum. The head curator was moving the M.C. Escher Exhibit from the south side of the museum to the north side. He was hoping to finish before lunch becase the Monet Exhibit was intransit from Chicago. [[Continue the Journey|2]]

Relativity <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Relativity-lattice,-1953.jpg"> While the curator was moving an M.C. Escher work called Relativity there was a sound of something hitting the floor. To the his surprise there was a key and note stuck behind the artwork. Apparently, when he moved the artwork it must loosened and ended up falling to the floor. [[Read the Letter|3]] ............[[Put the note and key back|5]]

The Key <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Key-Coordinates.jpg"> The curator looks a the key and sees a series of numbers on it. He is curious what these could be so he decides to start investgating the different clues on the letter and key. What could they be telling him. [[Examine the Letter Again |3]] .....[[Phone Number?|6]] .....[[Address?|7]] [[Coordinates?|8]]

The End <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Game-Over.jpg"> The curator decides to play it safe and the journey has now ended. Thank you for playing and have a great rest of your day. [[Blessings|Start]]

The Letter <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Letter.jpg"> (align:"<==>")+(box:"===XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX===========================")[//To whom it may concern, If you have found this letter I have passed away, but I have left my most prized possession for you to find at my house, which can only be found if you can decipher the information right in front of you. Once you’ve arrived at the location remember there is No turning back. This journey, if you choose to walk down this path, will change your Entire life forever. 53.201 5.7799 Blessings, M.C Escher//] [[Examine the key|4]]

Pizza Place <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Pizza.jpg"> The curator punches in the numbers on the cell phone and to his surprise he heard a voice on the other line. "Mama Robertos Pizza, How can I help you?" He calmly says that he has the wrong number and hangs up the phone. Apparently, this was a dead end so he decides to choose another option. [[Address?|7]]......[[Coordinates?|8]]

The Address <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Address.jpg"> The curator looks at the numbers on the key and believes it could be an address. So he travels to a nerby town and arrives at a very normal looking house. He proceeds to knock on the door and without hesitation the door opens. It is a woman wearing a red dress who seems to be in a hurry. You ask about the key and note. She looks at you smiles and then slams the door in your face. Apparently, this was a dead end so he decideds to choose another option. [[Phone?|6]].........[[Coordinates?|8]]

House in the Woods <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Old-House.jpg"> After taking a couple of connecting flights the curator arrived in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. He got information regarding the destination he was looking for and was warned to turn back. Ignoring the advice from the stranger he took a cab to the location. Once dropped off the man behind the wheel of the cab drove off as fast as a jack rabbit running from a wolf. [[The Door|11]]

The End <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Game-Over.jpg"> The curator choose the wrong location, which lead him to lose all his money and job. Next time you should pay more attention to detail. [[Blessings|Start]]

The Door <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Door.jpg"> Finally the curator has arrived at his destination. There's writing on the top of the door that states "''THERE IS NO TURNING BACK ONCE YOU ENTER''" He thinks to himself and decides he's already come so far there's no way he's going to turn back. [[Open the Door|12]]

Room 1 <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Room-1.jpg"> This room is pretty disgusting, but the curator decides to walk through the doorway only to hear the slamming and locking of the door behind him. He's trapped with no way out so he starts to look around the room and his eyes are fixated on a piece of artwork hanging on the wall. [[Artwork|16]]

Room 2 <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Room-2.jpg"> The Curator has apporached the room to look around. Should he go into the room without first completing the Room 1? [[Go into the Room|17]]..........[[Go back to the lobby|12]]

Type of Artwork <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Other-worlds-II.jpg"> This is a artwork done by M.C. Escher called Other Worlds it looks like an orginal, but how was it created? [[Lithograph|17]] ......... [[Drawing|17]] ....... [[Woodcut|19]]

Room 3 <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Hallway.jpg"> The Curator has apporached the room to look around. Should he go into the room without first completing the Room 1? [[Go into the Room|17]]..........[[Go back to the lobby|12]]

Death <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/RIP.jpg"> The door stayed locked and you never escaped. Next time you should research more about the topic before you answer the question.

Perspective Drawing <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Other-World.jpg"> This is a drawing done by M.C. Escher called Other Worlds it looks like an orginal. [[One Point Perspective|12]] ......... [[Two Point Perspective|17]] ....... [[Three Point Perspective|19]]

Perspective Drawing <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Other-worlds-II.jpg"> Correct this is a woodcut that was done in 1947 by Mr. Escher and it very symetrical with great orthogonal vertical orientations, but how many perspective points does it contain? [[One Point Perspective|20]] ......... [[Two Point Perspective|17]] ....... [[Three Point Perspective|17]]

Shading Technique <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Stippling.jpg"> Correect there is only one vanishing point that is located in the center of the woodcut. MC Escher does a fanastic job of creating contrast he does this using two main shading techniques. What type of shading technique is used in this section of the artwork? [[Cross Hatching|17]] ......... [[Stippling|21]] ....... [[Hatching|17]]

Shading Technqiue <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Hatching-.jpg"> Correct stippling, which is a series of dots or small dashed lines is the shading technique. How about this one? [[Cross Hatching|17]] ......... [[Stippling|17]] ....... [[Hatching|22]]

Engraving <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Print-Number.jpg"> Correct hatching is a set of parallel lines that don't touch and are typically used in woodcuts. The question is what do the Dutch words "eigen druk", mean at the bottom left corner. [[Print Done|17]] ......... [[End Print|17]] ....... [[Own Printing|23]]

Room 2 <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Room-1.jpg"> This room appears to be an old bathroom. The Curator walks in to investigate and hears the door slam and lock behind him.

Waterfall <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Water-Fall.jpg"> The Curator investigates another M.C Escher work called Waterfall, which was created in 1961. It creates a visual paradox with conflicting proportions and it shows a perpetual motion machine. The longer you look at it the [[Waterfall|27]]

The Waterfall <img src="http://cloverleafmiddleschoolart.com/resources/Water-Fall.jpg"> The Curator investigates another M.C Escher work called Waterfall, which was created in 1961.
