Nos olhos do mestre: as obras de Monet no videogame The Master’s Pupil

Abstract

The following work analyzes the presence of artworks in videogames and reflects on which ways Art and artists are being represented in this type of media, beyond bringing a reflection about their possible use as a teaching, propagation or interest generation tool. With that purpose, the research does a case study of the videogame The Master’s Pupil, developed by Pat Naoum, which narrates Claude Monet’s story through game mechanics, allied to the sound design and presence of artworks by the artist himself, and proposes an association in between this and other games that are already a part of an arsenal used by museums and academic institutions as a way to gather interest from the public.
