FORGERY

I don't remember a time when I didn't love art and I grew up playing this game.
I'm not sure which love fed off of which, but it was a vicious cycle. I still love playing the game (I bought one on ebay because they don't make it anymore) and seeing all the works of art that are familiar either because I have studied and taught about them or just because I remember them from the game...

In the game of Masterpiece you buy and sell art. Some of the paintings are worth in the millions and some are not, but worst of all are the FORGERIES! That means you bought a painting that is a FAKE!

Here is a forgery we have at our house. My 16 year old son was in art this year and painted his own version of Starry Night by Van Gogh. I love it and am so impressed with his work! Maybe someday he'll be making millions off his own paintings and not creating forgeries...
